RTC360 Scan data skipping lines
Hello all again.
I've started to notice what seem to be missing data lines in our scans from the RTC.
It seem that it misses most if not all data every 4 to 5 lines.
This is very evident about 30' from the scanner when scanning on the highest setting on flat horizontal surfaces.
Lines also seem to miss on a vertical surface but is not as pronounced until 100' from the scanner.
Just looking for verification that this is not a normal occurrence
Attached are two screen shots showing the data
First is the horizontal
Second is the vertical
Thanks
Jeff

Re: RTC360 Scan data skipping lines
No missing lines from ours on med or high resolution. They are all equally spaced.

Re: RTC360 Scan data skipping lines
Out of curiosity, is this processed in Cyclone or Register360?
I have a "corrupt" job at the moment - early stages of playing - but it is waaaay worse than this. It looks completely munted in 360 (unfinalised), but initially looked fine in Cyclone when imported over from R360.
Re-copied data from USB and re-importing - but I am not expecting any improvement as far as 360 is concerned.
Scans were from yesterday, scans from today looked fine.

This is using Cyclone.jamesworrell wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2019 1:14 pm Out of curiosity, is this processed in Cyclone or Register360?

Unfortunately all our jobs/scans from the RTC are producing this.

Re: RTC360 Scan data skipping lines
What's the distance between the scan lines and the extra distance between the missing line? Reason I ask is that for a scanner picking up data as densely as the RTC360, if the lines are typically roughly 1mm apart and occasionally jump to 2mm apart you're looking at a millimetre rounding error. For example, if the angular interval put the lines at 1.1mm spacing and the software was rounding positions to the nearest 1mm, you'd expect to see a 2mm gap every 5-6 scan lines. If this is the case, I wouldn't be at all worried by it. If the gaps are more like 5mm with an occasional 10mm gap, that's a problem.jkier wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2019 1:52 pmThis is using Cyclone.jamesworrell wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2019 1:14 pm Out of curiosity, is this processed in Cyclone or Register360?

Re: RTC360 Scan data skipping lines
Here's a closeup of the horizontal scan.
You can see the 4th or 5th line starting to loose data at this point 25' from the scanner.
I've actually started to look back at data we have collected and timewise this "may" be tied to the firmware update...

Re: RTC360 Scan data skipping lines
Looking at some other data ours has the same missing lines.. odd will speak to Leica support.
Excuse the picture taken of the screen.You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

Re: RTC360 Scan data skipping lines
seen this with ours too. Maybe just a dirty mirror? Our faro does this with a dirty mirror.

Re: RTC360 Scan data skipping lines
I would try to scan with lowest Res settings, and then a section at highest. P series seen to drop quite a few points and segments at high resolutions, the RTC might do the same.
Another thing to try is using a different tripod, going on a limb here but think you're using a rubber foot carbon fiber tripod. Try a wooden one or at least remove the rubber feet. This worked for an X330 I was using a couple years ago.
Vibration might have caused harmonic resonance and the scanner, or the import function is culling the overlapped lines?
