Scanning Parameters Overview - Faro FOCUS3D X 130 User Manual

Clear Sky - Enables the dynamic sky filter. While scanning, this hardware filter
will remove scan points resulting from hitting no objects at all which mainly
happens when scanning the sky.
Far Distances Optimization - The Far Distance Optimization is a feature which
configures the scanner in order to increase the quality of the points captured at far
distances (> 20m). This feature has the drawback that nearby points which are
bright might be inaccurately measured. Enabling this feature is recommended
when scanning outer spaces where the surfaces to scan are located at a distances
greater than 20 meters from the scanner position, and is not recommended when
scanning indoors.
Recommended Settings button - Enables both filters and disables Far Distance
Optimization.
