Creating a control point coordinates file (poses) Control point coordinates Poses should be measured by a surveyor, using a total station. To use the poses in post-processing, they must be must be created in either the .txt or .csv formats. Control Point File Requirements The control point file must meet the following conditions: Surveyed coordinates must be in a right-handed coordinate system . Always include the z-coordinates of the surveyed control point poses. Datasets scanned with the NavVis M6 and the NavVis VLX will be undistorted in the z- as well as x- and y-directions. For each dataset, at least 3 control points need to be recorded and need to be contained in the surveyed control point file. All coordinate values must be in the metric system. Geo-referenced coordinates can be used. If you are using a local coordinate system (the origin is arbitrarily self-defined

Issue description During transportation, the device box was damaged with a puncture hole, like the image below. Troubleshooting Procedure For similar small dents or punctures, use 2K (2 component, or in some places called AB) epoxy glue to fill in the punctures on the box. Allow the glue to dry until it becomes solid. Use a sandpaper to polish the box surface smooth. IMPORTANT: Take pictures before and after shipping, so you can claim damages from the shipping company!

If your building has multiple floors, you can change the floor using the floor changer menu on the right side of your Site . You will be able to navigate to any of the listed floors of the current building. In the Panorama view , all floors of the current building are listed in the floor changer menu on the right. In the Map view , all floors of the visible buildings are listed in the floor changer panel. From the floor changer menu, select a floor number and the site view will move to that floor. Note : If the floor changer panel does not show up or does not work as expected, the Site Model might be absent or too imprecise. Site refers to a complex of one or more buildings displayed in a NavVis IVION instance. For example, the Munich Airport would be one site. An instance can contain multiple sites

Issue description When turning off the device (e.g. M6, VLX etc.), you might be able to see white lines on the black screen. Troubleshooting procedure The Ubuntu system is showing kernel logs during shutdown of different processes, when the graphics are turned off. Could be there are some hardware connection / software issue that caused a longer shutdown period with lines of logs shown. If it appears only for a short time, then no need to worry about that. Mostly the graphics program has already been terminated, and the screen is showing the raw kernel logs. If you have errors during scanning already, or if the lines are hovering for longer time (~1min), then please contact support@navvis.com, probably there're some hardware connection issue that was blocking the normal shutdown procedures.

There are two options when the instance is running low on cloud storage capacity. Remove unwanted files by deleting old uploaded and processed Dataset s from Site s and NavVis IVION Instance s. Upgrade your NavVis IVION Processing or NavVis IVION Processing Enterprise package. 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. Site refers to a complex of one or more buildings displayed in a NavVis IVION instance. For example, the Munich Airport would be one site. An instance can contain multiple sites. Each site consists of one or more datasets. A NavVis IVION instance is a copy of the NavVis IVION software running on a hosting server. An instance has a database which contains the associated datasets, users, and more. That data

system , which allowed them to capture while walking and moving quickly. And finally, they documented the roof using a drone photogrammetry workflow, since this allowed them to gather the data without endangering their technician. “By opting for a multi-technology survey protocol,” they said, “we are more flexible in our building coverage strategy and can adapt to the specificities (size, height, accessibility, etc.) of each zone.” Wrapping up: The job determines the tool Which is better, mobile or terrestrial scanning? Lidar or photogrammetry? PhoDAR or Lidar? As a wave of exciting new tools hits the market, it’s natural to ask these questions. It’s important to remember that any technology — lidar, photogrammetry, laser distos, total stations — are just tools that do a specific job in a specific way. No one tool is inherently better than another. Choosing the best tool requires looking carefully at the goals and requirements of

These following metrics will give you an overview of your data usage for all Site s and NavVis IVION Instance s. Cloud Storage Cloud storage displays the storage size of all the Dataset s uploaded (recorded data) and processed in NavVis IVION Processing and NavVis IVION Processing Enterprise. Note: The counting does not affect the storage size and usage of NavVis IVION Instance s. For information on how the cloud storage is calculated and storage management tips refer to Calculating the Storage and Processing Units . Processing Balance Processing balance accounts for post-processing and usage of other features such as Person blurring. The area is counted only within the 10-meter range of the mapping trajectory. Data outside of the radius is processed, but not billed. Overlapping area is counted only once against the balance. Note: Successful reprocessing of datasets is also counted against the balance. Processing Units are units

Procedure Insert a correctly formatted SSD into the device, refer to Formatting an SSD card . During the startup sequence, the system will check for the SSD. If the SSD is missing, or inaccessible, follow the instructions on the device user interface. Make sure the device is placed on level ground. Important: Do not move the device during this step, this is because the inertial sensors inside the device are calibrating and they are very sensitive to movement. If it is moved during startup, the user interface will indicate the need for a manual calibration after you enter a dataset name. Press the Power On button. The NavVis System Software launches automatically after the system initializes. If you need to start the software manually, tap the NavVis icon provided on the launcher bar to the left or on the desktop. If this is the first time powering on the mobile mapping
