Import Heron data
|
To import the Heron® data as it is after being exported from Heron® Desktop. |
Remember to close the Heron® Desktop project before to import data in Reconstructor®.
As previously suggested, the better way to transfer the Heron® data from Heron® Desktop to Reconstructor® is to use the Export to Reconstructor command.
By using the Import Heron data tool in the Heron menu, a wizard window will help you to import the Heron® data.
|
Import Global Optimization Click on this button to import the results of a Global Optimization as they are exported from Heron® Desktop and saved in the Heron workspace's folder exports/reconstructor. Select one Global Optimization from the proposed list and click on OK. |
A tree structure including all the items saved in the Global Optimization is displayed. By clicking on a single item it's possible to edit its import settings.
|
Global Optimization Includes all the objects in the Global Optimization you want to import. |
|
Single Tracklet It is related to the a single tracklet, composed by a point cloud, a trajectory, cameras (if present) and ags. |
|
Point Clouds The point clouds in the Global Optimization can be both unstructured (e.g. Heron® data) and gridded (e.g. static scans). |
|
Trajectory connected to the relative point cloud If the point cloud is the Heron® mobile data, a trajectory is directly connected to it. |
|
Cameras If present, the camera images are connected to the trajectory. |
|
Tags Both annotations and targets are here included. |
Camera
If the Heron® system also include the camera, the images are loaded in the project, used to colorize the point cloud and visible in the Blueprint Navigator.
The folder containing the cameras and their calibration in the Heron® Desktop project is automatically linked, as well as the camera properties are automatically recognized.
|
Click on Remove Camera Acquisition to cancel the import of the cameras. |
The point cloud will be imported already colored (a RGB color layer is created), even if you have not imported the cameras, but you
cannot visualize the panorama's colorization (e.g. in the Blueprint Navigator).
Tags
|
Configure Tags Click on this button to import and manage the tags picked during the Heron® Live Survey. |
A list of all the tags is showed and here you can choose to maintain or change the role of each tag inside Reconstructor®.
|
Check it to don't import the tag in the Heron® Global Optimization/Survey. |
|
Check it to consider the tag as an annotation. |
|
Check it to consider the tag as a target (to be used for georeferentiation and registration). |
Name, type (tag, target, target area, reference point), position along the trajectory and notes of the tags are also displayed.
|
Click on Remove Tags to cancel the import of all the tags. |
Blueprint
By checking "Automatically generate blueprint" a blueprint related to the point cloud(s) you are importing is automatically created. Its resolution is depending on the dimensions of the point clouds bounding boxes.
This automatic blueprint is generated on a plane parallel to the XY plane of the current UCS (at the time of the import process).
To manage the blueprint layers see Create/Edit Heron Survey.
At the end of the process a Heron® Survey including all the imported items will be inserted in the current project.
Note
If no Heron® Desktop project is already connected to the Reconstructor® project, by clicking on the Import Heron button the ws_info.json file included in the desired HD project's folder is requested. After this point there is the same process.
