Configuration
Position Settings
The following positioning settings that the APS system uses during
normal operation can be changed:
Sliding Mean Depth - This setting relates to the number of scans
(rotations) performed by the APS scanner to detect the positions of
mapped targets. The default setting is one scan, however if this is set
to a multiple number the target data results collected from each scan is
averaged out. Increasing the number of scans can help to improve
target detection if scanning errors often occur due to other moving
objects in the studio.
Radius of landmark detection window - This parameter affects the
APS scanner’s ability to accurately resolve precise target locations.
The default is set to a radius of 300 mm. This means that the APS
system will assume that a true landmark position has been resolved if
a reflective object has been detected within 300 mm of a known target
position in the landmark map. If two targets appear very close together
due to a particular angular line of sight, or there is a known reflective
object other than a true reflective target close by, the window radius
could be reduced. This would have the effect of narrowing the focus for
target detection and help to separate close reflective objects in problem
scenarios, thus improving positional accuracy.
1. Click to select the Positioning link from any page in the APS user
interface.
2. On the positioning page the following parameters can be adjusted:
Note
The APS scanner performs eight scans (rotations) per
second.
Note
The radius of the landmark detection window can be set
independently at the minimum and maximum ranges of the
detection field.
