Creating a Correspondence in SCENE

scene-bty.png

Overview

Correspondences between scans help align or register scans for use in FARO® SCENE. These objects can be manually designated in both interfaces.

Creating Correspondences in the Workflow Interface

  1. In the Registration ribbon, click Manual Registration.
    Corr 1.png
  2. Click the desired cluster of scans to register, and click Select Scans on the top-right of the screen.
  3. In the next screen, SCENE displays a screenshot from the selected scans in two columns. Click a scan in the left column.
    Corr 2.png
    Note: SCENE will automatically move a recommended scan to the top of the right column.
  4. Click a scan in the right column, and click Mark Targets on the top right.
  5. The scans are displayed in split view.  In the left menu, click the type of target you will use to find correspondences between scans, then click each corresponding instance of that type of target in both scans.
    Corr 3.png
    Note: When SCENE detects a correspondence between two marked targets, the targets' labels display a green C. These target names will appear in the Structure window.
    Corr 4.png
  6. Once you have marked enough valid correspondences, the Register and Verify option will turn green in the top right. Click Register and Verify to continue.
    Corr 5.png
  7. Verify the scan registration in the correspondence view. If the registration is correct, click Yes and Finish. If it is not correct, click No and Other Pair. Clicking Other Pair will return you to the Select Scans screen to find correspondences between two more scans.

Creating Correspondences in SCENE 5.5 and Earlier

In this 7-minute video tutorial,  FARO Application Engineer Si Horton demonstrates how to work the split correspondence view feature to find common targets between scans

Use the correspondence view so that a scan's references lay next to their counterparts. Then, click the Update correspondences icon Corr 13.png in the toolbar. This will create correspondences between the neighboring references.
