  • Pictures folder have to follow the .3dr when you share your project.

  • Temp folder stores temporary images which are necessary while the project is open.

Example

Unknown/Abstract

This is the default type when the type is unknown.

Use Edit Image to set the image type.

Perspective

Type for pinhole images (usual photography from a camera).

Ortho-image

Similar to a raster map (contrary to perspective).

You can create such images using Extract OrthoImage.

Cubface

They are a set of 6 images on a cube (images share the same position). This object is not created by Cyclone 3DR, but are either imported as 6 independant images or as a spherical image.

Spherical image

Also called pano(ramic). This image is equivalent to a cubface.

Image display

From the 3D scene, only external parameters are read:

this display is only suitable to navigate in your project.

From the treeview, you can Go to camera viewpoint.

This will use external and internal parameters (as long as you keep the same position).

Thus, you can make measurements on the image.

How to import data?

  • Images stored on your local or remote drive: Import

  • Images stored in cloudworx clouds (jsa, lgs): Convert Project (after opening the corresponding files)

  • Images stored in a textured mesh: Extract Texture

  • Images stored on your Leica BLK360: Load from BLK

Refer to SImage, SSurveyingFormat and SCwCloud classes to import images through a script.

How to share georeferencing?

Ortho-Image: World files

This definition follows the ESRI standard (refer to word files).

Perspective: Excam and Incam files

These files are related to perspective images

External parameters, parameters which define the point of view:

  • position,

  • orientation.

Internal parameters, data collected from a camera calibration:

  • sensor size,

  • focal length,

  • PPA,

  • PPS,

  • distorsions.
