3D Data Overlay in Camera page tab, on SmartWorx v4.00

When using the camera on the TS11/15 imaging total stations, it is now possible to view points, lines and areas stored within the job in the Camera page tab within apps – a true 3D data overlay.

As the total station is turned the points, lines and areas are correctly positioned over the camera image. Points which are further away from the total station are shown smaller (in the correct perspective) than points closer to the total station.

All points can be shown – total station measured points, GNSS measured points, control points and so on. The symbol shape with which the point is displayed depends on the class of the point. For example, control points are shown as triangles and measured points are shown as spheres. The 3D data overlay is shown when working onboard the total station but also when working robotically with a CS Field Controller.

There are a number of settings which can help optimize the viewing of the points, lines and areas within the Camera page tab.

The distance sliders

The distance sliders can be activated by pressing the distance slider toolbar button on the toolbar. The bottom slider allows the “minimum distance” to be set. The minimum distance means that only points, lines and areas which are further away from the than this distance are shown. The top slider allows the “maximum distance” to be set. The maximum distance means that only points, lines and areas which are closer to the than this distance are shown. It can be useful to filter what is viewed in this way when there are many points in a job.

Points, Lines and Areas display The display of points, lines and areas from a job can be configured in the Camera View Settings panel, Points display and Lines / areas display page tabs.
