View Modes
The available View Modes depend on the loaded Resources:
- 3D View
- Streetlevel Spherical View
- Streetlevel Planar View
- Aerial Planar View
- Aerial Oblique Planar View
Add View
Click on the '+' icon and view mode on the left sidebar to open a new view. Next, click on the Reference View or an existing View on the location where a new View should be opened.
The available reality data will define the available Open View options.
The different View modes are described here.
Move View
Move an existing View to a new location
Hover over the ID of the View on top, click 'move' and choose another location in one of the Views or Reference View. For image Views, it's possible to choose a specific image by clicking on the footprint of the photo position itself.
To move all views at once, hold Shift in move mode and choose a new location. While holding Shift, 'move' in the View Action Fly-out will change to 'move all' to indicate this.
Switch View Mode
Change the View Mode of a View.
Hover over the eye-icon on top of the view to open the 'View Mode Fly-out' and choose the desired View mode to change the type of the existing View.
Focus other Views
Search & Open best photo
Add, Move and Focus Views trigger the request to Search and Open the “best” image.
Depending on the use case and data-type other methods or configurations can be used.
Anyway, the action consists of 2 consecutive steps
- Get Candidates
- Sort Photos
Get Candidates
Find relevant photos around the requested Focus Coordinate.
Any photo becomes a candidate if
- Focus Coordinate is nearby the Photo Coordinate (Search Radius)
- Focus Coordinate is in the field of View of the Photo.
Searching for candidates is done by incrementally increasing the search radius and ends when
- 10 or more candidates are found, or
- the maximum search radius is reached.
Sort Photos
Sort candidates by relevance, to get the best image and order alternative images.
The best image has the smallest value for the selected option
Available sort
- By Direction offset
Offset between the Candidate Direction (Candidate to Focus Coordinate) and Request Direction (3D View Position to Focus Coordinate). - By Pixel offset
Pixel offset of the Focus Coordinate projected on the Candidate Image to the Candidate Image Center. - By Spatial distance
Spatial distance of the Focus Coordinate to the Candidate Coordinate.
