Linear Measurements from Stereoscopic 360 Panoramic Images

Some assets have been captured with stereoscopic 360 panoramic images, such as R2S solution. This legacy data can now be uploaded to Cintoo and used exclusively for visualization and linear measurements.

Restrictions

  • Stereoscopic 360 panoramic images must be well aligned in the 3D coordinate system
  • Each 360 panoramic image from stereoscopic pair must be named as:
    • Imagename_up for the upper image
    • Imagename_dn for the lower image.
  • 3D measurements will be linear measurements only

Uploading stereoscopic 360 panoramic images

Please follow the instructions in this article: Import and Display 360 Images (Beta).

3D Measurements from stereoscopic 360 panoramic images

  • In 3D view, select one image from the pair and click on the Measurements tool


  • From the naming convention listed in Restrictions section above, Cintoo recognizes that this panoramic image is coming as a pair with no 3D data.
  • Click on Add measurement.

  • Display will then stay in 2D Panoramic mode.
  • Click 2 points that correspond to a desired linear measurement.


  • Then click on Switch Up (or Switch Down depending on the starting image) to move the other image of the pair.


  • Repeat 2 clicks on the second panoramic image, and the measurement will appear once  clicked the second point.


  • Measurement is also listed at the top of 3D view, click on Save to save the measurement.


  • All linear measurements are listed in Measurements List. Stereo pair ones have a corresponding Type.


  • Measurement Name is editable at any time.


  • Clicking on Edit will pop-up the editing window


Warning: measurement cannot be adjusted. If there is a mistake, please delete the measurement first and do it again.


  • Deleting a measurement can be done with Delete button corresponding to each measurement.

Exporting list of measurements

  • Go to Report tab.
  • Make sure that Measurements is selected as part of Activities that are displayed and exported.
  • Each measurement is listed in the tab. When clicking on one of them, see the thumbnail and it's possible to open the measurement in 3D View by clicking on 3D View button.

Note: only Length is a valid measurement. Do not use Height or Width as references.



  • Generating a report file usually takes a few seconds. It may take longer if there is a lot of data to be published.
