Measure Height Differences Points to Baseline

Function

This Step is used to calculate the height difference from points to the baseline.

Hint

Before using this Step, please refer to Getting Started with Measurement Mode to learn about basics of Measurement Mode.

Sample Application

../../../../../_images/sample_application2.png

Connect Read Point Cloud V2, Orthographic Projection, and Measure Height Differences Points to Baseline to calculate the height difference from points to the baseline.

Connect Steps

  1. Click on Orthographic Projection , go to the Step Input Source Selection panel, and then select Read Point Cloud V2_1_Point Cloud With Normals as Input 1 (Point Cloud With Normals).

  2. Click on Measure Height Differences Points to Baseline, go to the Step Input Source Selection panel, and then select Orthographic Projection_1_Depth Image as Input 1 (Visualization Background).

Configure parameters

Note

Please prepare the point cloud of the object to be measured in advance.

  • Configure in Read Point Cloud V2

    Click on the Step, and configure the Point Cloud Source and other parameters in the Step Parameters panel.

  • Configure in Measure Height Differences Points to Baseline

    The baseline is located in the upper left corner in the sketchpad area by default, drag it onto the point cloud and adjust the length.

Read the result

After completeing the configuration, click on Run to run the project. Click on Measure Height Differences Points to Baseline and check the measurement result in the Measurement Output panel.

Note

If multiple detect points have been added, there will be multiple measurement results.

Hint

You can set the LSL (lower specification limit) and USL (upper specification limit) in Measurement Output and Result View panels to check whether the measurement conforms to the specification.
