Point Cloud and Panorama Settings

Point Cloud Settings

After selecting datasets you can adjust the point cloud settings with following processing modes:

  • Dynamic: In this mode you can select the resolution you want in the Point cloud resolution (mm) field and choose colorization of point cloud data by switching on the Colorized toggle switch.

  • Eco 20 (Beta) A pre-set for large spaces where geometry is important. Point cloud data is processed at 20 mm resolution and standard panoramas.

  • Note: Standard panoramas retain their full resolution, but they are not as sharp as our highest quality panoramas available with Dynamic mode.

  • Eco 40 (Beta) A pre-set for quick processing and basic assessment tasks. The point cloud data is processed at 40 mm resolution and panoramas are not processed.

    Note: Eco 20 and Eco 40 processing modes are only available for datasets captured with NavVis VLX 3.

Settings for point cloud processing modes and deliverables in a new task interface.

The following point cloud settings are available:

  • High Confidence: In this mode only points with high confidence are retained and regions that have not been scanned densely are removed. This mode is recommended for narrow indoor environments.

  • Standard: This mode is for general use and yields high-quality point clouds in a wide range of scenarios. This mode is recommended for larger indoor environments.

  • Outdoor: In this mode points from sparsely scanned areas are retained. This mode is recommended for outdoor environments.

Panorama Settings

The following panorama settings are available for data captured with NavVis VLX and NavVis MLX.

  • Person and License Plate Blurring

  • Floor filling: colorizes the device’s blind spot where the operator is standing

    Note: The floor filling toggle is on by default.

  • Include panoramas in .e57 Point cloud

    Note: Turn on this toggle if you want to export a point cloud with panoramas directly from IVION processing.


FAQ

What is the purpose of the Dynamic processing mode in point cloud settings?

The Dynamic processing mode allows users to select the desired resolution for point cloud data and enables colorization by toggling the Colorized switch.

What are the recommended scenarios for using the High Confidence mode?

The High Confidence mode is recommended for narrow indoor environments as it retains only points with high confidence and removes less densely scanned regions.

How does the Eco 40 mode differ from Eco 20 in terms of processing?

Eco 40 mode is designed for quick processing and basic assessments, operating at a 40 mm resolution without processing panoramas, while Eco 20 processes data at 20 mm resolution with standard panoramas.

Can I adjust the panorama settings when using NavVis VLX and NavVis MLX?

Yes, you can adjust panorama settings such as blurring for persons and license plates, and enable floor filling.

Is it possible to export point clouds with panoramas from IVION processing?

Yes, you can export point clouds with panoramas by enabling the appropriate toggle during the processing stage.
