Uploading GeoSLAM data

This article describes how GeoSLAM mobile scan data should be formatted to be imported into Cintoo and outlines the workflow to do so.

Permissions: users with roles including Upload or Delete Reality Data permission can import GeoSLAM format scans with Cintoo Connect.

More about GeoSLAM devices here: GeoSLAM.

Data expected by Cintoo Connect from GeoSLAM Mobile Indoor devices is the following:

1. Select Mobile Scan from Add drop-down menu in a selected project and work zone.

2. In Mobile Laser Scans tab select GeoSLAM Zeb series

3. Select an E57 file generated as described above.

4. Modify Positions sampling value as needed:

For example, 500 will create 1 scan location for every 500 frames included in scanning path.
Number of 3D scans and average distance between each one will be indicated in Cintoo Connect and will be added to our scan count.

5. Enable or disable Blur faces:

It is checked by default, thus enabling automatic blurring of people's faces captured in any panoramic images included in scans being uploaded to Cintoo.
Uncheck this option to prevent automatic blurring of any people's faces in panoramic images.
Blurring cannot be undone in Cintoo after scans have been uploaded.
Any files uploaded without Blur faces option enabled must be deleted from Cintoo project and re-uploaded with the option checked to apply automatic blurring.

7.Click Import

Check Messages tab from time to time to see if the process is running smoothly
New 3D scans will appear one by one in Cintoo project
