ATOS II - Software
SOFTWARE
 

The Version 5 software is developed in close cooperation with our established customer base. We modernized the interface, use the full power of the available PC hardware, streamlined the process and added new features. The inspection functionality, the remote control, the macro functions and the batch job allow easy automation and a very efficient, user friendly and customized works with our measuring systems.

Now all users can profit from this developments, which perfectly fits the requirements on high-end optical measuring solutions.

Accurate data gathering enhanced in version 5

Based on stereo viewing and the reference point method, the ATOS scanner is able to validate the internal calibration and the data quality in each view. The resulting data is therefore accurate and reliable.

The ATOS II scanners can be set and calibrated from a measuring area of 1.7x1.4 meter down to 45x36 mm (in one view) by the customer, using the certified calibration tools provided by GOM.

Big objects can be accurately digitized using the combined ATOS and TRITOP photogrammetry technology, developed and offered by one supplier

User Interface

  • Modern interface based on the latest standards, with open GL technology for fast and perfect shading.
  • Streamlined user interface with improved workflow and context sensitive menus.
  • All parameters can be customized to allow an efficient and personalized use.
  • "Windows" like look and feel based upon the stable Linux platform.

Polygon Mesh Generation

  • Automated alignment of all single measurements.
  • Optimized removing of overlapping data based on viewing angle and digitizing conditions to create high quality meshes.
  • Curvature based thinning of the data to minimize the amount of data without loosing accuracy and details.

Polygon Mesh Treatment

  • Enhanced editing functionality on mesh data.
  • Optimized hole filling including curvature based algorithms.
  • Data reduction with fast curvature based thinning.

Sections

  • Sections can easily be defined in multiple ways to support traditional surfacing or quality control applications.
  • Editing functions to further improve the section quality.
  • Import and export of the section data to easily cooperate with other software packages.

Feature Lines

  • Easy to use and powerful feature line generation, based e.g. on tape lines and edges.
  • Primitive definitions based on the ATOS scan data.
  • Accurate and reliable detection of different hole shapes.

Registration

  • Pre-registration and best-fit registration (complete data or selected areas) of measurement data to reference data.
  • Primitive based (RPS) alignment to CAD data.

Inspection

  • Calculation of deviations of reference data to measured data, with predefined or customized color-coding.

Automation

  • Macro Functions can be recorded, edited and launched to speed up repetitive steps in the digitizing process.
  • Ready to integrate ATOS into a process e.g. inline digitizing or an automated digitizing based on robot handeling.
  • Remote control unit to allow an efficient one man digitizing of big objects.

Hardware

  • OpenGL based rendering for perfect display of the high quality scan data.
  • Dual CPU support to reduce the calculation time and maximize the throughput.
  • Two live images are displayed during digitizing, making digitizing easy and give full control over the system.
  • Easy transportable ATOS II systems, based on a powerful notebook PC (with FireWire).

Help

  • Automated parameter suggestions for all functions that affect data quality.
  • Online help included.
  • Step by step tutorial delivered with the system.
  • Wizards which sets the parameter to produce high quality data also from unexperienced operators.
