3. Information About the Sensor Each configured ATOS sensor, in scan direction, has defined 3D areas within which a measuring object can be scanned. In the following, such a 3D area is called "measuring volume" (MV). The measuring volume determines the distance between sensor and measuring object and the set of lenses to be used.

In practice, depending on the measuring task, different measuring volumes might be required.

Ideally, you have camera and projector lenses that are preadjusted to your measuring volume. In this case, you need to perform no or just very few steps for adjusting the sensor. A complete sensor setup is only required if the corresponding set of lenses has never been adjusted before or is decalibrated (wrong ad-justments).

For a complete sensor adjustment, you need to adjust the angle rela-tions of the cameras and set the focus and aperture of the lenses.

Then, the complete system is calibrated by means of calibration pa-nels or calibration crosses. If the measuring volume is adjusted suc-cessfully by calibration, you may start a measuring project.

The sensor adjustment is supported by the software. The software de-termines all necessary parameter settings. In order to achieve large, medium and small measuring volumes, the sensors support two or three different camera positions (Small Objects SO for small measuring volumes, 400 for medium measuring vo-lumes, and 800 for large measuring volumes), see system types 2 and table 3.1.

For camera position 400 or 800, you may install measuring volumes with two different camera angles. For example ATOS II/400/MV560 with 27° and ATOS II/400/MV 1000 with 15°. The eccentric stops ( , , , , ) are factory-preadjusted.

Never loosen these stops , , , or , as only an authorized specialist is allowed to adjust them.

4. Lenses The lenses shown in this example may, in some cases, differ from those delivered in practice. Therefore, the statements made here have to be used correspondingly. All lenses are marked with L (left) or R (right) or P (projector). Left and right are defined from the sensor view in normal operating position.

Never switch on the sensor if the projector lens still is equipped with the lens cap! Due to the high light output, the lens cap and the pro-jector lens may be damaged!

For the projector lenses, the aperture value is fixed and cannot be changed.

Select a set of lenses matching the required measuring volume and camera positions (e.g. SO, 400, 800), and screw it into the cameras and the projector.

To avoid getting dirt into the cameras and the projector, always equip the devices with lenses or blind caps, even when they are switched off. When changing the lenses, fix the new lenses in place imme-diately.

Screw in the lenses carefully by hand, lock the focus locking ring, if necessary, to ensure screwing in without any problems.

7. Sensor Setup

7.1 General In order to adjust the sensor, the complete system including the

ATOS software needs to be installed and the sensor must be equipped with a set of lenses matching the measuring volume and the camera position.

For each measuring volume (MV), the set of lenses are factory-preadjusted.

If you have the respective set of lenses for each measuring volume, setting up the sensor is easy as you do not need to carry out all the steps referring to adjusting the focus and aperture!

You always need to perform a complete sensor setup if, for example, the corresponding set of lenses has never been adjusted before or is decalibrated.

7.2 Measuring Volume Use the table in section 3.1 to determine a measuring volume. You create larger measuring volumes with camera positions 400 and 800 and smaller measuring volumes with camera position SO (see ta-ble 3.2). Please check whether the cameras are in the correct position. How to change the camera positions is described in section 7.3.

7.3 Changing the Camera Positions (Step by Step) In order to change the camera distances, you need to open the sensor housing. Therefore, disconnect all cables from the sensor.

It is not possible to operate the sensor without the upper part of the housing!

In the following, we describe how to change the camera distance from 400 to SO.

When you are changing the distance from SO to 400 or when you are changing to camera position 800, please proceed corresponding-ly.

7.4 Set Up Sensor with ATOS V7 Software You adjust the sensor using the workspace Set Up.

The software automatically identifies the connected sensor type.

Using the icon Set Up Sensor, you may register in the software the requested measuring volume and the camera distances used, see 3.2. All further adjustment parameters will automatically be determined by the software (measuring distance, filters, focuses, ...). A software dialog guides you through the required individual steps. If you use a set of lenses that has never been adjusted before or that is decalibrated, you also need to adjust the aperture and the focus. To adjust the aperture and the focus, you need to remove the camera covers (see 7.3.2) and the air filter (see7.3.3). The yellow arrows point to the clamping screws for adjusting the focus and the white arrows point to the clamping screws for adjust-ing the aperture.

You need to loosen the clamping screws before starting to adjust the focus and aperture. Start the adjustment from left to right by choosing the corresponding icons in the main toolbar.

Setup-Sheet B is required for aperture adjustments. • Software dialogs help you to adjust the sensor. • Adjust focus of left camera • Adjust focus of right camera • Adjust projector focus • Not required for Triple Scan sensors (polarization filter) • Not required for Triple Scan sensors (polarization filter) • Adjust left camera aperture • Adjust right camera aperture

7.4.1 Camera Angle The camera angles are already preadjusted by fixed eccentric stops (see 7.3.13) in order to ensure fast and easy change of the measuring volume.

Due to this fixed setting, slight divergencies might occur between the projected cross in the 2D camera images and the cross hairs dis-played by the software. These divergencies do not affect the measuring accuracy!

7.4.2 Adjust the Laser Pointers In addition to the target, the ATOS Triple Scan sensors have two laser pointers (right and left) to determine the center of the measuring vo-lume. When you changed the measuring volume and now use a dif-ferent measuring distance ( see Sensor Configurations 3.1), you need to readjust the laser pointers. For each laser pointer, two adjusting screws (A and B) are available at the front side of the sensor.

The figure shows the adjustment possibilities for the laser pointers. The adjustment screws A and B move the laser beam with respect to each oth-er.

S t e p s t o a d j u s t t h e l a s e r p o i n t e r s

• You already set up the sensor according to section 7.4. • Position the sensor at the measuring distance (see section 3.1 and

3.2) in front of a light surface. • Remove the camera covers. • Switch on the sensor (pushbutton on the rear side of the sensor). • Switch on the laser pointers via the ATOS software. • Adjust the laser pointers to the center of the projected cross.

Adjust the laser pointers to the projected cross at measuring distance A

You cannot see the laser pointers in the 2D camera image if you use an ATOS Triple Scan sensor with blue light technology!

9. Sensor Calibration Calibration is a measuring process during which the measuring sys-tem with the help of calibration objects is adjusted such that the di-mensional consistency of the measuring system is ensured. During this process, the software determines geometrical parameters, for ex-ample position and orientation of each camera, based on the recorded camera images. In addition, the image characteristics of the camera lenses and the camera chips are determined. Based on these settings, the ATOS software calculates from the points of the calibration object in the 2D camera image their 3D coordinates. For the ATOS Triple Scan sensors, three different calibration objects are used (panel with magnetic support, panel in the case, and cross). Crosses are used for large measuring volumes and panels in the case are used for medium-size measuring volumes (MV 700 to 320 for camera position 400). Panels with a magnetic support are suitable for the smallest measuring volumes, e.g. MV 170 for camera position SO.

Calibration panel for MV 170 Calibration panel in the case for MV 320 Calibration cross for MV1500

Generally, each measuring volume (MV) has its own calibration object. The table in section 3.1 informs you about which calibration object is required for your measuring volume.

Carry out the calibration only with the calibration object intended for your measuring volume.

9.1 How to Handle Calibration Objects

Always handle the calibration objects with utmost care and prevent them from getting dirty and being scratched. Make sure you do not touch the surface of the calibration object if possible. After each use, duly accommodate the calibration objects.

Clean the surface of the calibration object using the enclosed micro-fiber cloth from the standard tool box. Wipe the surface gently only. Never exert any pressure.

9.2 Calibration Conditions

9.2.1 When is Calibration Required? • Before starting measurements for the first time, the respective

ATOS measuring volume needs to be calibrated. • Also, if the adjustment of the camera lenses or the position of the

cameras with respect to each other is changed, the system requires calibration again.

• If the system indicates a possible decalibration, you should perform a new calibration.

9.2.2 Prerequisites We recommend letting the sensor warm up for approximately 15 to 20 minutes (camera and projector switched on), so that calibration can be carried out under operating conditions. A prerequisite for successful calibration is the correct setup of the sensor. The measuring object defines the measuring volume and thus the set of lenses to be used. Depending on the measuring volume, you either need to use a calibration panel or a calibration cross. The measuring distance to the calibration object has to be adjusted according to the sensor used, see the sensor configuration table in section 3.1.

At the beginning of the calibration process, you need to enter the temperature into the software at which the calibration is carried out. Measure the temperature using the thermometer intended for this purpose. Make sure you measure the temperature on the rear side of the calibration object or at the edge of the case in order to prevent the sensitive point markers from being scratched!

9.3 Calibration Using Calibration Panel CP 40 This section describes the calibration using the calibration panel CP40 with an ATOS Triple Scan sensor on a stand. There are two types of this calibration panel: • For measuring volumes with camera position 400 and 800 only, • With magnetic support for measuring volumes with camera position

SO only. Calibration using the panel "CP40 with magnetic support" is similar, but in that case you generally use the sensor together with an electri-cally adjustable lift.

The CP40 calibration objects consist of black points on a white back-ground. The larger points in the middle inform the ATOS software about the calibration panel type, e.g. calibration object CP40 for mea-suring volume MV320. Each point was measured photogrammetrically in the factory. Not only the black points are used for calibration but the white spaces as well (calibration of individual cameras). Therefore, always ensure that the calibration panel is clean (see section 9.3.1). For each calibration panel there is a CD containing the calibration da-ta (file extension .calobj) and the certificate. A unique serial number provides for correct matching of calibration ob-ject, certificate and calibration data.

Calibration CD with serial no. File name calibration data Serial no. of calibration panel Certificate with serial no.

9.3.1 Handling Instructions for Calibration Panel CP40

The surface of the calibration panel is very sensitive. Therefore, nev-er touch the surface directly with your hands.

Calibration panels for measuring volumes with camera position 400 and 800 remain in the case during the calibration process. Only the case cover is removed. Please remove the case cover carefully to prevent any damage to the surface of the panel.

Clean the surface of the panel using the enclosed microfiber cloth from the standard tool box. Wipe the surface gently only. Never exert any pressure.

Damaged points will not be used for calibration. Dirty white areas will be ignored during calibration and the process uses the clean neigh-boring areas.

Soiling and damages in the area of the larger calibration points in the middle may cause that the ATOS software does not identify the pan-el!

If you use multiple ATOS Triple Scan sensors, please check that the serial number of your calibration object matches the calibration data in the software. The software only checks the correct type of the panel but not the serial number. It is mandatory that the serial number of the calibration object is iden-tical to the serial number of the calibration object in the ATOS soft-ware! Otherwise your measuring system may provide inaccurate measuring data!

9.3.2 Loading the Calibration Data When using a measuring volume for the first time, you need to load the corresponding calibration data into the ATOS software and cali-brate the sensor. If you purchased the measuring volume together with the complete ATOS system, the calibration data is already loaded. Insert the CD belonging to the calibration object into the computer and start the ATOS software. Select workspace Set Up ► Calibrate Sen-sor.

► Click with the right mouse button (RMB) into the dialog and choose Import Calibration Object. Choose the calibration file with the exten-sion .calobj from the CD. Now, the calibration file is available in the ATOS software.

9.3.3 Preparing the Calibration Process When you want to calibrate a measuring volume, the sensor is already set up (see section 7) and the ATOS software knows which measuring volume and which camera position you want to use. Based on this in-formation, the software determines the required focal lengths of the lenses. Open the calibration dialog in workspace Set Up ► Calibrate Sen-sor.

Choose the required calibration object with the mouse, and start the process with Next. Maybe you are asked whether the settings are to be reset to the rec-ommended calibration settings. This always happens when the cali-bration object has never been used before or it was used in connec-tion with a different camera position (SO, 400, 800). Confirm the re-quest with Yes. In the following windows, enter the current measurement temperature and accept the adjusted focal lengths (camera and projector lens). Place the calibration object in its case on the floor and use the stand to position the sensor at the measuring distance orthogonally over it. As the laser pointers are already adjusted to this distance (see section 7.4.2), you only need to move the sensor on the stand up or down un-til the two laser points become one.

9.3.4 Calibration Process After that the software will guide you through the individual calibration steps. In the first step, you are asked to place the sensor and the cali-bration object in the center of the measuring volume. Enable the Automatic exposure time. In exceptional cases it might happen that the function Automatic ex-posure time cannot work correctly. In this case, disable the function and use the exposure time wheel to adjust the optimum exposure time for the camera image.

An optimum exposure time is given when the red overexposed areas are just no longer visible. In the subsequent steps you are then asked to place the calibration object in 12 defined distances perpendicular to the sensor. The soft-ware (as of ATOS V7.5 and higher) leads you to the correct positions in the measuring volume.

The image shows the first positions of the calibration panel (1-12) in the measuring volume. As of calibration step 13, the panel is tilted in the center of the mea-suring volume. Please follow the instructions of the software until the end of the calibration process.

9.3.5 Calibration Result At the end of the calibration process, the calibration result is shown separately for camera and projector. The green icon indicates a good calibration result. The red icon indicates an insufficient cali-bration result.

In case of an insufficient calibration result, repeat the calibration and check the sensor settings (see 7.4), the correct camera lenses and ensure that the cameras and lenses are mounted tight. If only the projector calibration is insufficient, check if the projector lens and the lens settings are correct and ensure that the lens is mounted tight.

You reach the calibration results with Digitize ► Sensor ►Calibration ► Show Information.

As of software version V7.5 and higher the calibration is saved in the Triple Scan sensor.

9.4 Calibration Using Calibration Cross CC 30 This section describes the calibration process using a calibration cross.

Due to the size of the cross you can only calibrate the sensor in a ho-rizontal position. Therefore it is useful to mount the calibration cross on a stand.

Calibration cross CC 30

During calibration, the sensor configuration is determined. This means that the camera positions and the orientation of the cameras to each other are defined, and the image characteristics of the cameras are determined. Based on these settings, the software calculates from the points of the calibration object in the 2D camera image their 3D coor-dinates. The calculated 3D coordinates are then calculated back again into the 2D camera images. For the position of the reference points, this results in the so-called reference point deviation (intersection er-ror). The calibration cross also contains the information of two scale bars (one on each cross axis). The scale bar information is a specified dis-tance between defined points. For each calibration cross there is the calibration certificate with the calibration data. You can also see the calibration data on the rear side of the cross.

Calibration date example on the rear side of a CC 30 calibration cross

9.4.1 Handling Instructions for Calibration Cross CC 30

The point surface of the calibration cross is very sensitive. Therefore, never touch the surface directly with your hands. Clean the surface of the cross using the enclosed microfiber cloth from the standard tool box. Wipe the surface gently only. Never exert any pressure. The calibration cross must be totally unfolded.

If you use multiple ATOS Triple Scan sensors, please check that your calibration object matches the calibration data you entered in the software. Make sure that the calibration cross does not touch the floor during the calibration process as otherwise deformation effects may lead to wrong results during the calibration.

9.4.2 Entering Calibration Data into ATOS When using a measuring volume for the first time, you need calibrate it and the corresponding calibration data need to be entered into the ATOS software. If you purchased the measuring volume together with the complete ATOS system, the calibration data is already entered. Select workspace Set Up ► Calibrate Sensor.

► Click with the right mouse button (RMB) into the dialog and choose Add Cross (coded) ... . Enter all required parameters of the calibration object into the software dialog.

Please make sure that all calibration data are entered correctly into the ATOS software! Otherwise your measuring system may prob-ably provide inaccurate measuring data!

9.4.3 Preparing the Calibration Process When you want to calibrate a measuring volume, the sensor is already set up (see section 7) and the ATOS software knows which measuring volume and which camera position you want to use. Based on this in-formation, the software determines the required focal lengths of the lenses. Open the calibration dialog in workspace Set Up ► Calibrate Sen-sor.

Choose the required calibration object with the mouse, and start the process with Next. Maybe you are asked whether the settings are to be reset to the rec-ommended calibration settings. This always happens when the cali-bration object has never been used before or it was used in connec-tion with a different measuring volume. Confirm the request with Yes. In the following windows, enter the current measurement temperature and accept the adjusted camera focal lengths. Place the calibration object at the measuring distance in front of the sensor using a stand (option). As the laser pointers are already ad-justed to this distance (see section 7.4.2), you only need to move the stand until the two laser points become one.

9.4.4 Calibration Process After that the software will guide you through the individual calibration steps. In the first step, you are asked to place the sensor in the center of the measuring volume with respect to the calibration object. Enable the Automatic exposure time. In exceptional cases it might happen that the function Automatic ex-posure time cannot work correctly. In this case, disable the function and use the exposure time wheel to adjust the optimum exposure time for the camera image.

Exposure time adjustment for calibration

An optimum exposure time is given when the red overexposed areas are just no longer visible. In the subsequent steps you are then asked to place the calibration object at defined distances and angles to the sensor. If you have not chosen the automatic exposure time setting, you need to adjust the exposure time for each new image again. Please follow the instructions until the end of the calibration process. In order to capture the entire measuring volume, you need to move the sensor during calibration. For this, the following general rule ap-plies: You should move the sensor by 1/3 of the measuring volume height closer to the object and by 1/2 of the measuring volume height further away – in each case starting from the center of the measuring volume. After you recorded the last calibration image, finish the calibration with Compute.

9.4.5 Calibration Result At the end of the calibration process, the calibration result and the scale bar deviation is shown with icons. The green icon indicates a good result. The red icon indicates an insufficient result.

In case of an insufficient result, repeat the calibration and check the sensor settings (see 7.4), the correct lenses and ensure that the lenses are mounted tight.

You reach the calibration results with Digitize ► Sensor ►Calibration ► Show Information.

As of software version V7.5 and higher the calibration is saved in the Triple Scan sensor.

9.4.6 Quick Calibration If during a measurement it is indicated that the system might be deca-librated (e.g. if you slightly knocked against the cameras), you may perform a quick calibration. You reach the software dialog with Digitize ► Sensor ►Calibration ► Quick Calibration. During this process, the calibration object needs to be placed into three positions - in the center of the measuring volume, further away from the sensor and closer to the sensor. These three new images are combined with the original calibration and thus a new calibration is calculated for the following measurements. This method is fast and can easily be used during recording a mea-suring project.

However, the image characteristics of the cameras must not have changed! If, for example, you inserted new lenses, you need to per-form a complete new calibration!

The calibration cross must not have been taken apart during the last calibration and the quick calibration!

10. Checking and Cleaning the Air Filter Check the air filter of the sensor in regular intervals. We recommend cleaning the filter every 3 months or more often.

You thus avoid a shutdown of the sensor due to overtemperature during operation.

11.3 Network Port

11.3.1 Notes for Network Administrators PCs and laptops for ATOS measuring systems have at least two Ethernet interfaces. One interface for the connection to the company network and one or two interfaces for the GigE data link of the high resolution cameras. If there are specific domain regulations in your company, please make sure that these settings do not affect the firewall settings of the GigE camera data links.

In order to guarantee ATOS scanning operation, the factory-adjusted firewall of the GigE cards for the camera data links must not be changed.
