Camera calibration information
- File format : the camera calibration parameters are in each camera position file header (csv, see above)
# Camera settings at export: ... ,"receptors":[{"distortion":{"k1":-0.06567,"k2":0.0773,"k3":0.01971,"p1":0,"p2":0},"focalLength":{"x":15.89,"y":15.89},"pixelCount":{"x":6000,"y":4000},"principalPoint":{"x":2987.96,"y":1959.91},"size":{"x":23.4,"y":15.6},"transform"...
The camera calibration parameters from this file must be entered before clicking Create Run, the 1st step of the Import Run procedure.
To facilitate import, your specific camera calibration values can be registered inside the Orbit template to avoid entering these values at each import. Contact Orbit Support if assistance is needed.
LiDAR
Point cloud files
- File format : One or more supported point cloud file formats.
- File structure : Las/Laz or Ascii *.txt, *.csv file.
- Las (Usual Phoenix Lidar output, recommended) or Laz : Las version 1.2.
- Ascii File : Space separated (Char32), headers, with exact order as the example below. Line ends by carriage return char(13) and newline char(10) sequence.
- Value of Coordinates : Any coordinate system (usually a projected metric CRS for Phoenix Lidar). The user needs to fill the imported point cloud CRS in the Source CRS field.
See Import Run for more information on template usage and CRS selection
