# Post-Processed Data

Post-processed datasets contain everything produced after raw mapping is turned into usable outputs: calibrated point clouds, panorama imagery, geo-registration maps, logs, and quality artifacts. This page explains how that data is structured in the datasets_proc/<date-time> folder and what each key file or directory represents, so you can quickly find the information you need for analysis, troubleshooting, or integration.

During post-processing (see also [Post-Processing using SiteMaker](/v1/docs/running-post-processing-in-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 `&lt;anchors&gt;.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](/v1/docs/dataset-control-points-info-file). Additional log files (`anchors_alignment.log` `anchors_verification.log&nbsp;`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](/v1/docs/control-point-error-log-files)). |
| `artifacts/` | Contains generated output such as a log of [bluetooth beacon signals](/v1/docs/beacons)received (`bluetooth_beacons.csv`) and [trajectory data](/v1/docs/mapping-path) (`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](/v1/docs/capture-location-info-files)) is created for each successful capture event (a panorama was created successfully). |
| `logs/` | See [Log files](/v1/docs/logs). |
| `maps/` | Contains 2D geo-registration maps (see [2D Geo-Registration Maps](/v1/docs/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](/v1/docs/quality-map)) in different resolutions are also provided. This folder also contains 2D x-ray maps (see [2D X-Ray Maps](/v1/docs/2d-x-ray-maps)). |
| `pano/` | Contains [panorama images](/v1/docs/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](/v1/docs/panorama-image-poses) 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/&lt;dataset-name&gt;-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](/v1/docs/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](/v1/docs/point-cloud). |
| `&lt;datasetname&gt;-registered.ply` | Contains the filtered and registered point cloud and is generated when the options […] are used. See [Point Cloud](/v1/docs/point-cloud). |
| `sensor_frame.xml` | See [Calibration file](/v1/docs/calibration-parameters). |
| `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 |

A three-dimensional representation of an environment, made up of many points. A point is defined by x, y and z coordinates, and it may or may not contain RGB, an intensity value, and normals.

Aggregate of data generated from a recorded dataset by running a post-processing task.
