How to set registration setting in FARO Scene

In this video, we will show you how to define general registration settings.

General Registration Settings
The scanner’s sensor data that will be used during registration:

• The inclinometer data will be used for all registration methods.
• The compass data will be used for top-view-based and target-based registration

Automatic Registration

Registration method that will be used when performing the automatic registration task.
Select among the following 4 options:

• Target-based
  Use this option if you have well measured targets, like spheres or checkerboards. Target-based registration doesn't need scan positions.
• Top-view-based
  Used for a fast indoor or rough outdoor placement. If inclinometer data is available, this 
  registration method is independent of the initial scan position. We recommend refining a top-view-based registration with a cloud-to-cloud registration.
• Cloud-to-Cloud
  Used for refining roughly positioned scans, for example by sensors, manual positioning, or a top-view- based registration. Different initial positions may lead to different results.

• Top-view-based and Cloud-to-Cloud
  Performs a top-view-based registration first and then a cloud-to-cloud registration.
