Abstract:

A method includes acquiring with a scanning device a scan frame including a point cloud comprising a first plurality of points and describing a spatial characteristic of an environment, attributing each of the first plurality of points with a spatial confidence metric, discarding a portion of the first plurality of points when the spatial confidence metric of at least one of the first plurality of points is below a predefined threshold value and directing a user of the scanning device to acquire a second point cloud approximately coincident with the discarded portion of the first plurality of points.
