RIEGL

Prevu3D supports the following scanners from RIEGL:

• VZ-400i

• VZ-600i

Examples of RIEGL software for processing:

• RiSCAN Pro

---

RIEGL data can be captured in two modes, and the export workflow differs between them. Confirm which mode was used before preparing the data:

• Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) — fixed-position scans exported from RiSCAN Pro. Follow the workflow below.

• Kinematic (SLAM) — mobile capture. See Kinematic (SLAM) mode below.

Data Processing

The steps below apply to terrestrial (TLS) capture exported from RiSCAN Pro.

Export Settings

Step 1: Select pointclouds for export in the project tree

Step 2: Start export tool

The export tool can be found in the quickstart menu of the project manager pane, or in the context menu (right-click) of a selected pointcloud.

In case no pointclouds were pre-selected the export tool starts with a list of pointclouds to choose from.

Step 3: Set parameters

• Select the E57 format

• [Recommended] Keep Combine Data unselected

We also recommend selecting the following parameters even if they are optional to get an optimal result.

• Export images from SCANPOSIMAGES folder

• Export panorama images

• Press OK to launch the export process.

Once exported, you will be able to upload your e57 files inside Prevu3D by following the upload workflow.

Kinematic (SLAM) mode

RIEGL kinematic (SLAM) capture is now supported. The detailed export workflow is coming soon. In the meantime, the uploaded E57 file must include:

• Point normals

• Embedded images

If you are unsure which capture mode your data uses, check with your RIEGL operator before uploading.
