This page describes the original Leica C10 terrestrial mapping resources for Orbit import.
Use the corresponding Orbit Import Template to import the described original data.
It is recommend to read first Orbit Mapping Resource.
The data are delivered in .E57 format. This file consists of the images, the photo positions and the point cloud(s).
Importing .E57 files can be done through the Import Run procedure. Using a template for a E57 import will induce this procedure to have one step extra compared to a regular import process. Below, this import procedure is described step by step.
Currently, the process requires two manual changes (Step 3 and step 4). One can use the scripts below as well to do this in an automatic way.
Via the procedure Optimize Imagery, Orbit will create Orbit Multiresolution Image panorama images. They are - as always - stored in the processed folder.
Step 3: Update photo position file
Use the following command in Windows PowerShell. Make sure to update the path in the command.
Set-Content -Path "<Orbit Run>/panorama1/original/positions.csv" -Value (get-content -Path "<Orbit Run>/panorama1/original/positions.csv" | Select-String -Pattern 'CubeFace2','CubeFace3','CubeFace4','CubeFace5','CubeFace6' -NotMatch)
Step 4: Update image file names
Use the following command in Windows PowerShell. You can run this command if you open Windows Powershell in the folder (<Orbit Run>/Panorama1/original) where the images are stored.
Get-ChildItem -Filter *.jpg -File | ForEach-Object {Rename-Item -Path $_.FullName -NewName ( $_.BaseName.split("_")[0] + "_" + $_.BaseName.split("_")[2] + $_.Extension )}
The data are delivered in .E57 format. This file consists of the images, the photo positions and the point cloud(s).
