Prepare MM Data Trimble MX8
This page describes how to prepare Mobile Mapping resources for the Trimble import template.
Using the Trimble Orbit import templates the prepared Trimble data can be imported into Orbit.
It is strongly recommend to read first : Understand Mobile Mapping data in Orbit.
Data Structure
Trajectory
Currently no known Trimble support for trajectories.
Panoramas
Currently no known Trimble support panoramic imagery.
Planars
Planars are optional, there are no limitations on the number of planar cameras.
One camera import requires one set of images and one positions and orientations file.
Images
- Files : *.jpg files, each planar is one jpg image file.
- Naming : exactly as described in photo position file (see below, first column)
Image positions and orientations
- File : one csv or ascii text file
- Data-structure : Flat ascii text file, tab separated (char9), column headers, with exact columns : Filename, X, Y, Z, Heading, Roll, Pitch
- Filename : file name as on disk, without file extension.
- Crs : Any supported coordinate system can be used, but all imported mobile mapping resources should have the same crs.

Camera specifications
Depending your camera specifications it will be required to adjust the default camera calibration parameters.
Review and adjust the Camera Settings in the planar[X]/import/import_locations.ord configuration file prior to the import.
- cal_dx
- cal_dy
- cal_Nx
- cal_Ny
- cal_fx
- cal_Cx
- cal_Cy
Point Cloud
Point clouds are optional, there are no limitations on the number of imported point cloud files nor their size.
LiDAR
- Files : one or multiple .las or .laz files
- Crs : Any supported coordinate system can be used, but all imported mobile mapping resources should have the same crs.
- Data-structure : default Las or Laszip structure (v1.2)
Customize
In addition on the standard available import templates the Orbit engine offers all configuration possibilities to customize the import for using any kind or combination of mobile mapping data : Supported Resources for Mobile Mapping.
An import configuration can be added as new import template to extremely simplify all feature imports.
Please contact the Orbit support team (support at orbitgt dot com) for more information or to create your customized template.
Manage Templates
The Trimble import template has not been added on installing the product.
