RSC Cloud Import/Export
Scan Strip Cloud (.RSC) Export and Import
The *.RSC Import option provides the ability to import a raw Scan Stripe Cloud export in sequential stripe packets much the same as a real measurement. This allows visualization of the scanning sequence and adjustment of the playback rate for template construction operations and testing.
Export any Scan Stripe cloud through it’s right-click Export *.RSC File menu and save the raw binary file as needed. This *.RSC file is then ready for import.
The following controls are available:
File Import Controls:
Instrument Selection.Instrument selection is optional but will change the import results as the cloud will be imported with respect to the selected instrument and automatically associated with it if an instrument is selected. If no instrument is chosen on import then the cloud is imported relative to the current job working frame.
File selection.An external *.RSC file must be selected for import.
Collection and Cloud Name.These controls provide the location and name used within SA for the imported point cloud.
Processing Controls:
Delay. The delay slider provides an option to add a delay between each imported set of scan lines. Min delay will import the cloud in a quick sequence while Max delay will slow down the import by adding time between each stripe packet import.
Stripes Per Packet. Much the same as the instrument will buffer up a collection of scan lines and then send those lines to SA, this control allows you to adjust the number of scan lines from the file that are sent to SA in each packet. Selecting 1 for example will only send a single scan stripe to SA with each packet. Increasing the number will therefore increase the number of scan stripes included in each packet sent to SA.
The RSC Scan Stripe Cloud importer offers users an advanced capability for template construction and testing in a repeatable manner. It works in conjunction with the instrument camera view and offers a way to test and adjust voxel display and real-time meshing controls. It may also be used for testing feature extraction.
