Preference to set number of images to open from Map at all time.
Open and focus image view(s) from another mobile mapping image view.
Open and focus image view(s) from a Map 3D coordinate.
Open and focus image view(s) from from any map scale.
Display photo positions hotspots on image view of the according camera only.
Updated logical order of mobile mapping view context menu.

Measure, Extract & Inventory

We visited customers, peer over their shoulders on doing intensive feature extraction jobs.
Their valuable input and comments have been used to update the measure, extract and inventory procedures to improve efficiency on every detail.

Auto-complete point cloud cloud measurements
- Single click to get complete ridge, breakline or curbstone.
- Two clicks to get complete ridge in given direction.
- Single click to get complete catenary wire between two poles.
- Single click to get all parallel catenary wires between two poles.
Measurement on image only using using reference plane intersection
- Measurement using horizontal ground reference plane.
- Measurement using vertical reference planes defined by 2D & 3D area outline and line vector overlays.
Snap to measure and vector overlays on Map 3D and Mobile Mapping Image & 3D Point Cloud View
Asset inventory auto attribute image id of measurement.
Keystrokes for asset inventory attribute editing.
Disabled measure functions if not supported by active measure technique (point cloud, forward intersection, reference planes intersection measurement)

Ground Control Points & Trajectory Adjustment

Trajectory adjustment by linear interpolation between measured ground control points as alternative for bicubic (curved) interpolation.
Reduced loading time to create initial trajectory segment.

Consolidate & Deliver

Consolidate and deliver mobile mapping runs without point cloud.

Supported Resources

64bit geoid raster to define orthometric height

Layout Updates

Mobile Mapping process imagery

Bug fixes

Bugs, awch… . Over 90% of all reported bugs have been solved.
