Exporting From Faro Orbis / GeoSLAM Connect

Exporting from Faro SCENE

Prerequisites and points cleaning (read this first)

Both RGB point clouds and RGB panorama images are needed for AIM to process your data. We cannot process datasets with only point clouds at the moment.

The displayed export methods ensure that AIM understands which points were seen from which scan position, and that the associated RGB photos are included in the export.

AIM can also display (drone) photogrammetry results exported as textured meshes.


Faro Orbis / GeoSLAM Connect

AIM requires projects that include the ZEB Vision camera.

In GeoSLAM Connect, process your project:

Ensure all images are stitched and the point cloud is colorised.

Applying the GeoSLAM provided filters helps reduce outliers for better results.

If you have multiple datasets that you registered together, do not forget to use the "Vision Calculate Image Poses" dialog to apply the found transformation onto the .gs-traj files, thus creating new, transformed .gs-traj files (see screenshot further down).

Provide Benaco with an export folder containing the following:

From your GeoSLAM project folder's "Input" folder, these files and folders:

images/ (folder of stitched images)

*.traj.txt (if it exists)

*.gs-traj

*.gs-vision

*_colour.laz (colored point cloud; the file name may be longer depending

on the filters you applied)

Highlighted in grey: The files to provide from GeoSLAM Connect (you need to additionally provide traj.txt if it exists):

Creating transformed .gs-vision and .gs-traj/.txt trajectory files for merged multi-walk projects
