There doesn’t seem to be much info about the ‘Noise Profile’ setting in the import laser scan dialogue. The options are for the P20 or noise free. Are there any others available to load somewhere? I’ve got data from a BLK360 which is much noisier than the P20, though I’m not sure how Reality Capture takes this into account.
Hello CG,
you can edit the noiseprofiles.xml file and create own noise profile according to the data provided by the manufacturer. You can find the file in the installation folder, commonly this is the path C:\Program Files\Capturing Reality\RealityCapture. The noise profile for ScanStation P20 defined in the noiseprofiles.xml looks like this:
It is a set of noise and quality factors that defines the change of point cloud precision with the change of distance and intensity.
Awesome, thank you. Is it possible to get one of these xml’s from manufacturers or do we need a fill it in ourselves? It’s easy to find the general noise/accuracy specs for equipment but that matrix looks more detailed.
Hello CG,
please try to consult this with the manufacturer if he can provide you with such information.
