Stairs
The NavVis M6 cannot climb stairs during scans. Try to scan staircases thoroughly to get a dense Point cloud from both adjacent floors. Well-mapped staircases will be important during Dataset alignment since they connect different floors and are clearly visible in the point clouds.
Scan Staircases Thoroughly
Slowly rotate and move so that the vertical laser scanners scan the stairs and the individual steps.
Lifting the Mobile Mapping System
Finish the current dataset. Pull the camera head all the way down, then pull the mobile mapping system by the handles at its head. Do this only while the scan is not running.
A Point Cloud is as a collection of data points in space that typically represent the external surface of an object or environment. Point clouds are used in various applications, including 3D scanning and mapping, and can be visualized and manipulated using Navvis IVION. You can perform actions such as panning, orbiting, cleaning up noise, cropping, and downloading data in formats like .e57 or .ply. The resolution of point clouds processed with NavVis Software achieves a minimum detail of 5mm, indicating the precision of the spatial data points.
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.
