Registration using a partial/no survey with targets

If site access is limited there may only be a partial survey or no survey at all. If targets have been placed in the scanned scene, these can be registered using a process called Bundle Adjustment. If a partial survey is used, the scans will be registered to the site coordinates as specified in the partial survey. If no survey is used, the scans will be registered locally.

Bundle adjustment is an iterative process which calculates the mean position of a target from each target pick over multiple scans.

Before starting registration using Bundle Adjustment, please ensure the Perform Bundle Adjust option in the File > Options > Gateway tab is enabled.
