Capture Point Cloud Model

Capture Point Cloud Model Instruction

This tool is used to generate and save the target point cloud model files required by Steps such as 3D Coarse Matching and 3D Fine Matching.

Operating Procedure of Capturing Point Cloud Model

  1. Open the Mech-Vision project and click Tools -> Capture Point Cloud Model.

  1. Click Capture Once, then the color image and depth image will be displayed in the image viewer on the right if the camera settings are correct. Make sure that the target object is not in the field of view, then click Capture Depth Background Image, and click Next after confirming that the background image in the preview box is correct.

  1. Modify the save path of the model file, the minimum area size of the object and the name of the point cloud model if needed. Then click Generate Model, the generated target object point cloud model will be displayed in the image viewer. Press and hold the left mouse key to rotate the point cloud, scroll the mouse wheel to zoom in and out, and press and hold the mouse wheel to pan the point cloud.
