Tough question. The software and hardware are pretty easy to use. Better process? I would have to say if they added target registration would be a benefit for areas where there are no planes to register to.
@@SurveyingWithRobert Thanks so much. Interesting point, so would that be for scanning sites vs structures? I'm just getting into this stuff, so sorry for the stupid questions. Have you seen the X7 + Spot robot solution? Any thoughts on that?
How would it register scans to each other if there were no planes around? For example if you were to scan a road, there may be long stretches with nothing but curb, sidewalks etc.
Exactly - Got my hands on one and it was great but only registered 80% and had to hand register it in TBC. Scans are not survey grade. i did 5 full jobs . Looks great but data did not jive with the totalstation data . I have a sx and it works perfect . ithink this is just for the masses to collect reality data not survey data. They need a step up version for surveying.
@@davidsgroi1201 Thanks for your comment. It sounds like you have already have done the Real Life Test jobs that I was going to. If you have the time I would like to hear about the test jobs you did, how and why they failed to meet survey grade. We are also looking at the SX10 but thought the scanning was to slow, any thoughts. Again thanks for your time.
@@shemoejob We have a SX and while it is slower, its very accurate as a scanner and robot. The distance it will scan is not limited like the X7. Although with any scanner you are limited to what it can see anyway. But with x7 you have limited distance capabilities. I had a chance to use a x7 and preformed scans on 5 jobs. Its fast and data , But I had trouble with it auto registering the scans, probably did 80% . Did not have one job that came together 100%. Had to preform manual registration in tbc to get it all together. I had a lot of overlap as it was commercial projects still had issues. A road project would not be a good fit for this product. Unless you could put some sort of targets out there maybe. The data it self was not survey grade it did match our field run points as the SX does . It was all over the place . I would not use it for surveying. The SX is spot on and uses survey work flow . So you can scan anything . I have hundreds of scans with this instrument. We have a job with 60 scans in it took a week but we have a ton of data. Basically scanned a hospital complex. Also as a robot the SX is remarkable for its accuracy and ease use. I would test for yourself but you would get more out of the SX.
Well I had planned on geo referencing the scan and never got around to it. I am working on another video where I reference the scan in perspective. Actually going to do that today I hope.
@@SurveyingWithRobert Yes all Surveyors take a flat ground into account with their observations of land surveying. Water always finds it's level which is sea level, no curvature of earth has been noticeable ever! But here's the kicker latitude and longitude lines are actually off a little bit because GPS is programmed that way to make the North pole and south pole 90 degrees! All so people can believe in the ball earth! But the truth of the matter is that the ball earth heliocentric model is wrong and has never been proven to true. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ubNICy7RoaY.html
