Aura scan environments

Aura Scan Environments determine the default processing settings applied during processing, such as Surface Noise Reduction and SLAM time window values. Select the environment that most closely aligns with your scan for optimized processing settings and output results.

Aura prompts you to choose a Scan Environment when you add a dataset for processing. Once selected, the environment is saved in the scan folder and will be automatically used the next time you process that scan. You can change the environment at any time through the Processing Options.

How Aura uses Scan Environments

Each Scan Environment applies a predefined set of default processing parameters. These defaults ensure that Surface Noise Reduction and SLAM time window settings are appropriate for the environment captured.

The sensor data window used during SLAM processing adjusts automatically based on the distribution of features detected in the environment.

Maximum Window Size

The window size varies between 5 seconds and the configured maximum. Increase this value to improve robustness in low-feature environments. Note that larger values increase processing time.

Minimum Window Shift

The window shifts between the configured minimum and 1 second as processing moves through the recorded data. Decrease this value to improve robustness in low-feature environments. Note that smaller values increase processing time.
