Raster Scan Edge Inspection    

Uses ordered (raster) scan data, a surface, and B-Splines defining surface edges to identify edge points from within point clouds. It then creates vectors and determines if the points meet a specified tolerance.

 

Input Arguments

 

0

Collection Object Name Ref List

Cloud Names

The names of the clouds to consider.

1

Collection Object Name

Edge Surface Name

The surface containing the edges to evaluate.

2

Collection Object Name Ref List

BSpline Edge List

The name of one or more B-Splines along the edge of the surface in argument 1.

3

Collection Object Name

Prefix for Output Groups

A prefix to apply to the names of all resulting

groups from the command.

4

Double

Tolerance

A tolerance value to meet.

5

Integer

Minimum Number of “Good” Points per Unit Length

The minimum number of points required per unit B-Spline length required to pass the evaluation.

6

Double

Maximum Percentage of “Bad”

Points (0-100)

The maximum percentage of points that can ex-

ceed the tolerance and still be considered passing.

 

Return Arguments

 

7

String

Summary Result

A text summary of the result of the command.

 

Returned Status

 

SUCCESS

The evaluation was performed successfully.

FAILURE

One or more required objects was not found.

 

Remarks

This command finds cloud points close to the specified edge, and creates four point groups: One for points in the tolerance, one for outside the tolerance, one for outside the tolerance and above, and one for outside the tolerance and below. Vector groups are the created projecting the “above” and “below” points to the nominal edge.
