Finish Scanning

Finishing the Dataset

1. Tap Finish to finalize the mapping session and create a new dataset.

   

2. Confirm by tapping Yes. A preview of the dataset is shown. The mapping process shuts down, the images are downloaded, the dashboard closes, and the user returns to the main screen.

Caution: Do not shut down your device until this step is complete. It could lead to the corruption of the data.

Previewing Datasets

1. From the main screen, select Datasets.

   

2. From the completed Datasets screen, select a dataset to preview.

   

3. Each saved dataset displays the following information:

   • 2D map preview.

   • Size of the area mapped.

   • Dataset ID.

   • Starting time of the scanning.

   • Duration of the scanning.

   • Number of captured panoramas.

   • Number of captured control points.

   

4. Tap on the magnifying glass icon and the Quality Map Review screen will display.

   • Tap the X to close the review screen.

   • Tap the plus or minus icons to zoom in and out.

   • As you zoom in you can also pan and look around.

   

5. To view the panoramas, select Image previews. The panoramas display information about their dataset ID, time, and date. To delete the panoramas, select the delete icon.

   

6. To see the direction that the panorama was captured (left, front, right back), select the desired panorama.

   

To process the dataset, either upload them to NavVis IVION Processing, or if using NavVis Desktop Processing, transfer them to your processing machine and proceed there.

Data Processing with NavVis IVION

The raw data from the NavVis VLX must be processed to generate a Point cloud and panoramic images.

Data processing prepares your data for use in NavVis IVION, and other CAD or BIM software. You can process in the cloud using NavVis IVION to generate the point cloud and panoramic images. Surveyed control points will correct distortions in the point cloud.

During processing you can adjust the settings of the point cloud output, including:

• Point cloud resolution

• Point cloud file format

• Point cloud filtering mode

• Point cloud coloring

• Maximum laser scanner range
