Added Constraint Options for Improved Data Optimization

Added Constraint Options for Improved Data Optimization

Plane Parallelism
  1. While scanning a floor or wall, press the plane pick button and during optimization that information will automatically be used to enhance the accuracy of the scan
AprilTags for Loop Closure
Scale Bar Targeting
  2. Scale-Bar targeting will improve the accuracy of the model in post processing (Global Optimization) by ensuring the specified target-to-target distances are met.
  3. Scale bar targets should be set up at maximum distances within the scene, and ideally along all relevant axes (x,y,z).
Hard Targeting
  2. Hard targeting requires a minimum of 3 targets with known xyz coordinates
  3. Hard targeting will improve accuracy while also transforming the data into the target coordinate system
