Volume measurement tool: Mouse driven interaction modes in forensic image processing. Reference information on tool

Forensic Image Comparator3D: Volume Tool.

The Volume tool provides you the possibility of measuring the features in the surface and to determine relative lateral and vertical position of the features on surface. The tool is called from button in left toolbar. The volume is interactively moved and adjusted with mouse to the features of interest as described below.

Screen shot: Volume Tool. Clickable features.

Clickable features: Left Mouse
1. White anchor, sphere: Operation Drag (mouse down and move) used to change XY position of anchor, which results in XY resizing of the box.
2. White anchor, sphere: Operation Drag (mouse down and move) used to change XY position of anchor, which results in XY resizing of the box.
3. Cyan anchor, sphere: Operation Drag (mouse down and move) used to change Z position of the upper plane. Results in resizing of the box height.
4. Cyan anchor, sphere: Operation Drag (mouse down and move) used to change Z position of the upper plane. Results in resizing of the box height.
5. Side corners of the box, Vertical white lines: Operation Drag (mouse down and move) used to change XY position of anchor, which results in XY resizing of the box.
6. Side plane of the box: Operation Drag (mouse down and move) used to change XY position of anchor, which results in XY resizing of the box.
7. Side plane of the box: Operation Drag (mouse down and move) used to change XY position of anchor, which results in XY resizing of the box.
8. Side plane of the box: Operation Drag (mouse down and move) used to change XY position of anchor, which results in XY resizing of the box. Note even though upper plane is semitransparent. The drag mouse “through” upper plane will activate side plane rather than upper plane.
9. Corners at the Upper Plane, white lines: Operation Drag (mouse down and move) used to change Z position of the upper plane. Results in resizing of the box height.
10. Corners at the Upper Plane, white lines: Operation Drag (mouse down and move) used to change Z position of the upper plane. Results in resizing of the box height.

Clickable features: Right Mouse
Any clickable 3D object above if used with Right mouse produces Volume Tool Move effect: Operation Right Mouse Drag.
