1. Scope
1.1 This practice covers evaluating the performance of three-dimensional (3D) imaging systems based on many different criteria. One such criterion is the range error of the system for which a protocol is proposed in this practice. This protocol provides a basis for performance comparisons among such systems based on the range error. 1.2 This protocol establishes requirements and methods for specifying and testing the performance of a class of spatial coordinate measurement systems called 3D imaging systems. 1.2.1 A 3D imaging system is a measurement instrument that is used to measure rapidly (on the order of thousands of measurements per second or faster) the range and bearing to or the 3D coordinates of points on an object or within a scene. The information gathered by a 3D imaging system is provided in the form of point clouds with color and intensity data often associated with each point within the cloud. 1.2.2 These systems include laser scanners, 3D optical scanners, 3D range cameras, laser detection and ranging instruments (LADARs), and 3D flash LADARs. 1.3 The subclasses of these instruments for which this practice applies include those that are ground based and capable of capturing information of a scene that is on the order of large capital projects such as a process plants, construction sites, buildings, and bridges. 1.4 The values given in SI units are to be considered as the standard. 1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
No such standard exists.
