Imaging
The BLK2GO can collect two different types of images:
•
A panoramic image using 3 calibrated panoramic cameras. The panoramic
images are automatically taken when the device is in operation.
•
A high resolution image using the detail camera. The high resolution
images can be taken by the user while scanning as described in "5.1 Oper-

Scanning
5.3.1
Ambient Conditions
•
Highly reflective (polished metal, gloss paint)
•
Highly absorbent (black)
•
Translucent (clear glass)
☞
Colour, powder or tape these surfaces before scanning if necessary.
•
Rain, snow or fog may adversely affect measurement quality. Always use
care when scanning in these conditions.
•
Surfaces that are directly illuminated by the sun cause an increased range
noise and therefore a larger measurement uncertainty.
•
If some objects are scanned against the sunlight or a bright spotlight, the
optical receiver of the instrument can be dazzled so heavily that in this
area no measured data is recorded.
If the instrument is brought from a cold environment, for example from stor-
age, into a warm and humid environment, the mirror or in extreme cases even
the interior optics can condense. This may cause measurement errors.
