Introduction

Prev Next

NavVis SiteMaker is NavVis's desktop application for post-processing and web-processing scan data captured by NavVis mapping devices. It prepares scan recordings for upload to NavVis IVION by running NavVis Desktop Processing on your local workstation.

Version information

For release history and the current version, see the Desktop Processing Changelog.

What SiteMaker does

SiteMaker provides a project-based interface for running two processing pipelines on recorded datasets.

Post-processing converts raw scan recordings (datasets_rec) into processed data (datasets_proc). This includes point cloud generation, colorization, and control point integration.

Web-processing prepares post-processed data for NavVis IVION by generating streamable point clouds and multi-resolution panoramic image tiles (datasets_web). For more information, see Web Processing.

Where SiteMaker runs

SiteMaker runs on-premises on a local Ubuntu workstation. It is installed as a Debian package as part of the NavVis MAP software suite.

  • Project wizard — set up processing projects and select datasets
