Enabling Fine Registration Mode and Its Usage in SCENE

Fine registration is a mechanism in FARO^® SCENE to refine the placement of the scans taken with the scanner. It is an extension to the default registration process and should be enabled as required. It is especially helpful when the registration is mainly processed on the basis of natural reference objects, like corner points or rectangles.

It is disabled by default. You may enable it in the Place Scans Settings under Tools > Options > Matching. If enabled, it will be executed after the default registration.

You may also apply fine registration manually to already registered scans: Select Perform Fine Registration in the context menu of the scan manager or click the Optimize Tensions button in the scan manager on tab Ref. Tensions. This will perform a fine registration to the scans that are managed by the selected scan manager. For more information, refer to the Scene manual or the Help menu's in Scene.
