Metrics is a C++ / C# SDK for 3d metrology software development.
The focus of Metrics is performance – reduce cycle times in your inline application.
Metrics is “real” 3d and offers a wide range of algorithms and geometrical functions.

The Metrics IDE CodeX presents more than 150 functionalities of the SDK in its user interface.
Work interactively and let CodeX generate the source code on-the-fly.
Modify and run the source code and let CodeX visualize the results for you.
Create Dlls or C# files and use them in your applications.

Multi Sensor Calibration

Calibrate the pose of 3d scanners and the direction of a transport system, e.g. conveyor belt. Inspect all point clouds in one global coordinate system.

Automatic alignment

Align scan data automatically to a reference object. The reference can be another scan, or it can be a cadmodel. The alignment is fully automatic, there is no need for a prealignment.

Multi-view registration and triangulation

Multi-view ICP (Iterative Closest Point) for surface scans and triangle mesh generation

Cleaning
Remove outliers and points that have been scanned at bad conditions, e.g. at steep scan angles or with reflections on shiny surfaces

Geometries

Find or fit 3d planes, lines, circles, spheres, cylinders and cones in your point clouds.
Measure distances, compute projections, angles or intersections.

CodeX - Metrics development

Work interactively in 3d with CodeX and use the generated source code in CodeX and your applications. Use the full C# language and the complete interface of the Metrics SDK libraries.
