FARO® Laser Scanner Focus3D X 130 ManualJanuary 201451Chapter 5: Getting StartedClear Sky - Enables the dynamic sky filter. While scanning, this hardware filterwill remove scan points resulting from hitting no objects at all which mainlyhappens when scanning the sky.Far Distances Optimization - The Far Distance Optimization is a feature whichconfigures the scanner in order to increase the quality of the points captured at fardistances (> 20m). This feature has the drawback that nearby points which arebright might be inaccurately measured. Enabling this feature is recommendedwhen scanning outer spaces where the surfaces to scan are located at a distancesgreater than 20 meters from the scanner position, and is not recommended whenscanning indoors.Recommended Settings button - Enables both filters and disables Far DistanceOptimization.Scanning Parameters OverviewFigure 5-28 shows the measurement speed, noise compression, net scan time forall the resolution and quality settings that are available.ResolutionQuality Speed(kpt/sec)NoiseCompressionNet ScanTime(full scan)pt/360°Mio.
