Point Batch

The Point Batch provides a way to identify points on a large number of scans, at one time. The points that you pick will be used in the automatic measurement extraction process. This step is required in order to process data that is captured on a Cyberware Whole Body scanner.

Using Point Batch

You are now ready to identify, select and save the points that will be used to generate measurements in DigiSize. Through the course of this section of the tutorials, you will be interacting with the Point Form and with the Pick Points (manual) dialog. We cannot stress enough the importance of accurately selecting each of these points. Their location is vital to the generation of the automatic measurements.

  1. Select 'Point | Batch...'.
    2. [Point Menu]

  2. Use the left mouse button and the Shift key to select DBNs 14-24. This action will allow us to use only those selected scans from the listing in the following steps. The other scans will be ignored for time considerations.

    The Pick Point (manual) window will open as soon as the software encounters and undefined point. This window provides a description of the current point to help the user to find the correct place on the scanned data. If you require further information on a point, click the Definition... button. The software will display a more accurate text description of the point along with a graphical representation of the point. You should also refer to the Point Form Tutorial for more information on the point picking.

    If the software that asks for a point that is difficult to choose, simply choose a point that is close or exclude that point from your project. Some of the sample data sets will have points that are difficult to define due to inconsistent subject preparation.

  4. Continue to pick the points that the software requests in this same manner (SHIFT + LMB, then Okay) until all of the points are defined. When you have defined all points, the Pick Point (manual) window will disappear and you will be returned to the Point Batch window.
  5. When all points have been chosen for all of the selected scans (DBNs 14-24), close the Point Batch window.
  6. Continue to the Measure Batch tutorial.
