Mapping Functions

Controlling the View

Pausing the Scan

Tap the pause button to pause and resume 3D mapping and the automatic triggering of cameras.

In pause mode, no images are taken and no points are added to the Point cloud. Pause mode is useful in the following scenarios:

• People are coming into view of the device (they should not appear in the point cloud or in panorama images).

• The device is being used in an area where the user does not want to capture panorama images or a point cloud but still wants to continue capturing in the same Dataset.

Note: In pause mode, only the 3D mapping process is paused. Localization is always running. To avoid impairing the quality of the recorded map, do not move faster or less carefully than during normal mapping.

Triggering the Cameras

Tap the camera button to trigger the cameras manually.

Manual camera triggering is useful when:

• The user needs extra pictures of an object or area.

• Automatic triggering is inactive but the user needs to take a picture in a particular place.

Note: An image is captured immediately when the camera button is pressed. As a result, the images may contain motion blur if the user is in motion.

Automatic camera triggering can be disabled in the settings. On the NavVis M6, automatic triggering can be disabled with a long press of the camera button.
