Image-enhancement removes color distortions and improves the overall image, resulting in a more vivid, true-to-life, and visually striking point cloud.

New Features

  • C-Series: Add support for sensor AOI (requires firmware version 1.4).
  • NxLib: The new command SaveCameraModel exports a 3D model of the camera and its field of view for use in CAD construction. The export is also available in NxView.
  • NxLib: PartFinder: The reference perspective can now be a monocular camera. This allows to use edges which are better visible in a color camera.
  • NxLib: PartFinder: Add a new parameter ComplementViewpoints to the GenerateModel function, that allows to distribute model viewpoints over a band-like area.
  • NxLib: ComputeTexture: When texture mode is enabled, the ComputeTexture command now rectifies raw texture images instead of computing a texture image from rectified images. This allows to use the command regardless of whether texture mode is enabled or not.
  • NxLib: RenderView: The size of points can now be computed automatically to achieve an opaque rendering at any depth.
  • NxLib: RenderView: The new point cloud rendering mode Circles reduces rendering artifacts on colored point clouds.
  • NxView: PartFinder: Draw coordinate system axes at the position of the origin of the CAD model.
  • The Windows SDK is now available as a zip file.

Bugfixes

  • NxLib: Fix unstable auto exposure for B-series and C-series cameras (requires firmware version 1.4).
  • NxLib: Fix handling of large file camera zip files.
  • NxLib: Fix a bug where the binary format of a node could not be changed after a call to nxLibSetBinaryDataFormatted.
  • NxLib: PartFinder: Fix a bug where PartFinder models saved from a real camera could not be loaded with the corresponding file camera.
  • Examples: Fix the NxView example so that it can be built again without errors.
