Prepare MM Data Trimble

This is the description of how Trimble Mobile Mapping data needs to be prepared for the Orbit AIM import.

Panorama Images

The panorama images are stored in the *.pgr files :

  • for every photo positions there are 6 individual pictures coming from the ladybug 3
  • single file size is limited to 2GB, multiple files possible : <name>-000000.pgr, <name>-00001.pgr

Panorama Image Positions

The photo positions are post processed to a *.gps file and then converted into the SHP format :

  • each point idicates the center of a panorama
  • Description of Attributes :
Orbit GPS/SHP Attributes Attribute Type Data Units Description
longitude X float8 decimal degrees Longitude in decimal degrees WGS84
latitude Y float8 decimal degrees Latitude in decimal degrees WGS84
Z Z float8 meters Altitude (orthometric) in meters over the NMM
pan heading float8 radians Heading angle or vehicle direction in radians. This angle is defined using the Cartesian coordinates system, which means counter clockwize with a 0 on the positive axis of the X.
It is generated by an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) or is calclated according to the GPS coordinates
tilt Pitch float8 decimal degrees Angle corresponding to the vehicle pitch (front-back) in decimal degrees. Generated by an IMU.
roll Roll float8 decimal degrees Angle corresponding to the vehicle roll (left-right) in decimal degrees. Generated by an IMU.
image Frame_No int8 Unique image ID. In the shape file saved as an integer (INT8) and consequently without leading 0-values.

Exporting .gps files to Shape using Trimble T3d GPS

  1. Open function GPS2SHP
  2. Select the .gps files
  3. Run & Check results

Point Cloud

The point cloud is the composition of 3 sensors, resulting in 3 *.las files :

  • Hlidar_…_LAS1_2.las
  • Llidar_…_LAS1_2.las
  • Rlidar_…_LAS1_2.las

Exporting Las v 1.2
