Prepare MM Data Topcon IP-S2

This page describes how to prepare Topcon IP-S2 mobile mapping resources for Orbit.
Using the Topcon Orbit import templates prepared IP-S2 resources can be imported into Orbit.

It is strongly recommend to read first Understand Mobile Mapping data in Orbit.

1. Select your project
2. Select Job Type → Message Exporter
3. Select “poses.ips” or “poses.ipz”
   1. Check type 1 : pose
4. Output format : check TSV
5. Define coordinate system to WGS84 decimal degrees
6. Select an output destination file and click on “Export Messages”
7. This file will be used to import in Orbit (Destination file)

1. Select your project
2. Select Job Type → Message Exporter
3. Select “posed_lb_pics.ips”
4. Define coordinate system to WGS84 decimal degrees
5. Select an output destination file and click on “Export Messages”.
6. This file will be used to import in Orbit (Destination file)

1. Select your project
2. Select Job Type → Point Cloud Generation
3. Set File Type to “LAS”
4. Set Coordinate Type to “ECEF”
   The mandatory use of WGS84 ECEF coordinates is intrinsically linked with the choice of LAS files within the Geoclean export!
   The WGS84 ECEF coordinates will be converted by Orbit on import to WGS84 geographical degrees. If one would like to use UTM or other projected coordinates, the default Orbit import template for the Topcon IPS2 must be modified accordingly, review : Supported Resources for Mobile Mapping.
5. Set Choose Sensors to “All”
6. Set Colorize Point Cloud “ON”.
   When the point cloud is colorize it will be possible in Orbit to visualize the point cloud using the recorded RGB values.
7. Then click Start.
