Prepare MM Data Faro Terrestrial Scanner HPR

This page describes how to prepare Faro Mobile Mapping resources for Orbit in case if the orientation of the spherical images is provided with Heading, Pitch and Roll.

It is strongly recommended to read first Concepts of Mobile Mapping and UAS data in Orbit.

• Image type : equirectangular panoramas.
• Image resolution : Ratio 2×1, 5056×2528 advised
• File format : Each image is one *.png file.
• File name : Exactly as “Filename” value of image position file, see below.
• Folder structure : All files in one folder.

• File format : one ASCII *.csv file
• File structure Rows: each image is one record
• File structure Columns : Tab separated (char9), headers, with exact order as the example below.
• Value “Filename” : File name as on disk, without file extension.
• Value of Coordinates : any supported coordinate system can be used, Long/Lat order for geographical coordinates, decimal notation, without thousands separator.
• Value “Time” : GPS Absolute time or GPS Week time.
