Scene Point Cloud

The scene point cloud consists of all points in the camera’s field of view, and can be used as a reference for setting 3D ROI in relevant Steps. This tool is used to select a scene point cloud before setting a 3D ROI in relevant Steps.

Instructions

  1. Open Project Assistant and click on Select an output port from a Procedure/Step as shown below.

  1. A pop-up window will appear. Select the Step which outputs the scene point cloud on the left side, and select the output port on the right side, as shown below. You can also type the keyword above the list to search for the Step you need.

Attention

It is not recommended to select Capture Images from Camera as the Step which outputs the scene point cloud, which may slow down the computing speed of the project. Normally, the Step From Depth Map to Point Cloud is selected. You can also select other appropriate Step according to actual needs.

Note

The icon icon_star represents that the output port is connected with an input port of a succeeding Step, and the icon icon_closedeye represents that the output port is not connected with a succeeding Step. However, either port can be selected as the output port of the scene point cloud.

  1. Click OK to finish setting.

  2. After selecting the Step and output port, you can also choose the Frame of reference according to actual needs in Project Assistant.
