Custom Reference Frame
This tool is used to define a custom reference frame for display. The depth map and point cloud can be displayed in the custom reference frame.
|
The custom reference frame only affects the display in Mech-Eye Viewer and does not affect the actual data in the depth map and point cloud. |
Instructions
Follow these steps to define a custom reference frame:
-
Adjust the position of the point cloud and find the surface to be used as the XY-plane of the custom reference frame.
-
Hold the Shift key and click on the point cloud to select 3 points. The 3 points serve the following functions:
-
The first point is the origin of the reference frame.
-
The second point determines the positive direction of the X-axis.
-
The third point determines the positive direction of the Y-axis.
-
-
After the 3 points are selected, the reference frame is generated according to the right-hand rule. Rotate and zoom the point cloud to check if the reference frame meets your needs:
-
Check if the three points are located on the same surface.
-
Check if the orientation of the Z-axis is correct.
If not, Click Reset in the lower right, and then repeat step 2.
-
-
Click OK to save the custom reference frame.
Use the Custom Reference Frame
To display the depth map and point cloud in the custom reference frame, follow these steps:
-
In the data display area, switch to Depth Map or Point Cloud.
-
At the top of the left panel, click the Reference Frame drop-down menu and select Custom. The depth map and point cloud will be displayed in the custom reference frame.
