Compute the deviation between point clouds and geometric shapes with heat map and numeric values.


Deviation Analysis

By comparing one object to another you can create a detailed color map indicating the variance. Valid targets are point cloud, lines, points, planes, cylinders, and imported CAD data.

The Tolerance defines the lower limit of deviation, all points closer then this value are ignored. The\ Max Deviation value defines the upper limit of deviation, all points greater then this value are ignored.

Select Pointcloud, grid-points or grid-lines to compute the deviation with the rest of the visible model on screen.

Revert the color map

After computing deviation, create line or cone geometry to visualize deviation results.

Deviation results are reported in Excel with the current screen image. The colorized point cloud and deviation results can also be export to Autocad.

After exporting results to excel, pressing this link button creates a live link between Excel and BloomCE. Placing and moving the cursor in Excel, moves the view location in BloomCE window.
