Add, Move, Change View

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

  1. Get Candidates
  2. 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

Options:

  • 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.
