Measure in panorama images

Open the panorama measure window using the according measure icon from the Image Toolbar.

Using the panorama measure window point cloud measurements and measurements based on triangulation are supported.

• using a point cloud it is possible to measure with a single click in a single panorama view.
• via triangulation, two panorama views must be used to perform a measurement.

Specify measure mode
Specify the measure mode (a) using point cloud or (b) by triangulation in 2 views by flagging “Use Point Cloud” in the panorama measure window.
This flag will be disabled if there is no point cloud available.

Start the desired panorama measure function with a single click on the corresponding icon.

• If a measure function is activated the appearance of the cursor changes in a rectangular cross when hovering the mouse pointer above a panorama view.
• If a measure function is activated the zoom, pan and navigate functions are still available.

Position
A single click measurement

• 1 : Returns the X,Y,Z coordinates.
• 2 : Returns the X,Y,Z coordinates and the height of the object above ground level. ¹⁾
  The results are available in the publication CRS defined by the Orbit administrator, WGS84 decimal degrees and WGS84 dms.

Distance
A two click measurement. The second click stops the measurement.

• 1, 2, 3 : The height is the distance in Z, the slope is the angle with the horizontal plane.

Line
A multi-click line measurement ending with a double click.

Area

• 1 : A multi-click area measurement ending with a double click.
• 2 : A three click measurement resulting in a horizontal area measurement.
• 3 : A two click measurement resulting in a vertical area measurement.

Volume
First and second click define one edge, a third click defines the opposite edge and stops the measurement.

Displayed coordinate system
Point X,Y,Z measurements can be displayed in publication coordinates, WGS84 decimal degrees and WGS84 degrees minutes seconds (Lat/Lon).
The publication coordinate system is set by the administrator. When hovering above the buttons to switch display crs a tooltip with the complete coordinate system name will appear.

Copy Results
Using the “Copy Results” button the displayed measure results will be copied to the clipboard. Results are copied with an id and tab separated ready to be pasted directly in your spreadsheets. The measurement ID is reset to 1 when opening the publication and increases by every successful measurement.

• Single click button : copy results with headers
• <Shift> + click button : copy results without headers, useful when copying series of measurements.
