The Registration Status tab enables rapid interpretation of registration quality for quick and easy QA checks. Registration can be checked at both a scan and target level.
To add scans or targets to the Registration Status tab, follow the steps below:
-
Select the desired scans/targets in the Registration Management Panel.
-
After the desired scans/targets have been selected, right-click and select Add to registration status tab OR drag and drop the scans/targets on to the Registration Status tab.
The selected scans are displayed in the Registration Status window as shown below:
Each scan will have an overall traffic light to indicate any problem targets.
-
If a scan has one or more red traffic lights, the overall traffic light will be red.
-
If a scan has no red traffic lights but one or more amber traffic lights, the overall traffic light will be amber.
-
If the scan has no red or amber traffic lights the overall traffic light will be green.
To see the targets identified in each scan, select the arrow on the left of the desired scan name. This shows details of all the targets: their position, the error of the overall target from the survey and the correspondence (bundle or survey).
To close the Registration Status window, hover over the top-right corner of the workspace window and select the Registration Status List icon, then select Close Registration Status List.
To see the details of each individual pick for a target, click the arrow on the left of the desired target. This shows details of all the individual picks that contribute to that target: the scan name, the position, the error of the individual pick from the survey and the error vectors of the individual pick from the survey.
If an individual pick is found to be bad (usually indicated by red traffic lights) the user can do the following:
-
Right-click on that pick and select Do Not Use For Registration. This removes that pick from the calculation of the target and scan and re-registers the scan accordingly.
-
After a pick has been confirmed as not being required, the user can right-click that target and select Delete.
-
To further refine the information available, the user can right-click anywhere in the Registration Status window and apply one of the following filter options:
-
Nothing
-
Red and amber traffic lights
-
Red traffic lights
-
The following table describes the different fields for a given target:
