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:

This option is disabled by default, option None is chosen.
Enable this option to automatically blur faces captured in any panoramic images included in the scans being uploaded to Cintoo.
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 face blurring.

6. Enable or disable Blur - Human bodies and car plates:

This option is disabled by default, option None is chosen.
Enable this option to automatically blur human bodies including faces and car plates captured on any panoramic images included in the scans being uploaded to Cintoo.
Blurring cannot be undone in Cintoo after scans have been uploaded.
Any files uploaded without Blur Human bodies and car plates option enabled must be deleted from Cintoo project and re-uploaded with the option checked to apply automatic blurring.

Warning: use carefully only if it is imperative, as scan import time might be doubled with the option enabled.
