Article summary

During post-processing (see also Post-Processing using SiteMaker), the recorded sensor data is used to generate the Point cloud and/or panorama images. Artifacts generated during mapping are also re-computed with all algorithms tuned for higher resolution and higher accuracy.

  • For each Post-processed dataset, a corresponding folder is created named datasets_proc/<date-time>.

  • A Post-processed dataset contains the following folders and files:

File/Directory

Description

anchors/

Contains various <anchors>.txt files as well as an origin.json file. These files provide control point information and indicate the state and success of anchor usage during different steps of post-processing with anchors. See also Dataset Control Point Info File. Additional log files (anchors_alignment.log anchors_verification.log and anchors.log) that are generated if you process your data using measured control points are also saved in this folder (see Control Point Error Log Files).

artifacts/

Contains generated output such as a log of bluetooth beacon signals received (bluetooth_beacons.csv) and trajectory data (trace.csv and trajectory.bag).

cam/

Contains captured images.

cam/info.list

Lists the *info.json files created in the info/ folder.

info/*.json

An *info.json file (see Capture Location Info Files) is created for each successful capture event (a panorama was created successfully).

logs/

See Log files.

maps/

Contains 2D geo-registration maps (see 2D Geo-Registration Maps) for the processed data in different resolutions. YAML files containing the position and the orientation of each 2D geo-registration map are also provided. This ensures correct map alignment in IndoorViewer. Quality maps (see Quality Map) in different resolutions are also provided. This folder also contains 2D x-ray maps (see 2D X-Ray Maps).

pano/

Contains panorama images.

pano/info.list

List of metadata (*info.json) files for each successful capture event (a panorama was created successfully).

pano/pano-poses.csv

Pose information for each panorama relative to its dataset

pano_depth/

Internal use

pointclouds/

Internal use

pointclouds/poointcloud-raw.ply

Raw point cloud files that are generated when processing without measured control points that are filtered to remove outliers but still contain the sharp edges and corners recorded by the laser scanners.

pointclouds/<dataset-name>-raw-registered.ply

Raw point cloud files that are generated when processing with measured control points that are filtered to remove outliers but still contain the sharp edges and corners recorded by the laser scanners.

wifi/

See Captured WiFi data.

dataset.json

Contains the dataset name entered by the operator, the version layout (dataset identifier), and statistics such as the mapped area and mapping duration.

pointcloud.ply

Used for filtered point clouds. See Point Cloud.

<datasetname>-registered.ply

Contains the filtered and registered point cloud and is generated when the options […] are used. See Point Cloud.

sensor_frame.xml

See Calibration file.

sensor_frame.xml.sig

Digital signature of the calibration file

qualitymap.png

Quality map for the processed dataset

workstation.cer

Security certificate for your processing machine
