If you record multiple Datasets for your Site, you must align them. The alignment process creates two main artifacts in the datasets_web
folder:
A bundle XML file: This file stores information on how the datasets of an IndoorViewer instance align relative to each other. Additionally, the Bundle XML contains geo-registration information.
A bundle XML folder: This contains data such as the Site Model and navgraph for your instance created in IndoorViewer.
Note: More information on bundle XML files, the site model, and on creating a navgraph is provided in the IndoorViewer documentation.
A dataset is a piece of a site, the result of a continuous recording with a NavVis mapping device or the result of an imported point cloud. Datasets can contain panoramic images and point clouds.
Site refers to a complex of one or more buildings displayed in a NavVis IVION instance. For example, the Munich Airport would be one site. An instance can contain multiple sites. Each site consists of one or more datasets.
A site model is a three-dimensional model which clusters information by assigning meaningful names to clearly defined areas in the space of a site. With a site model, you can define and name the buildings, floors, rooms, or even more fine-grained spaces, of a site in NavVis IVION. Among other things, this information is used to create the floor changer and enrich POI search.
