Laser Modeller Scan Gateway

The Laser Scan Gateway is a critical differentiator reflecting the AVEVA values of innovation
and flexibility. Users require one software solution even when multiple laser scanning
hardware systems are involved. If the hardware changes the software does not.
This is achieved by accepting data from all the major scanner vendors including Leica,
Riegl, Z+F, FARO and Trimble (see Architecture below). Data is taken from .zfs,
.ptx, .ptz, .3dd or .fls format and processed into .zfc format via Laser Modeller Scan
Gateway. This .zfc data can be used by the AVEVA Laser Modeller and LFM products.
5.1
Installation
The Laser Modeller Scan Gateway installation follows the same procedure as the Laser
Modeller installation, except when the installation is completed.

5:1
12 Series

The user has the option to launch the FARO LS installation by checking the check box and
clicking Finish.
The FARO dependency files installer will start automatically.

5:2
12 Series

Again, follow the prompts in the installer until the installation is complete. Laser Modeller
Scan Gateway is now installed and ready to use.
5.2
Load Scans
After launching the application the AVEVA Laser Modeller Scan Gateway window is
displayed.

5:3
12 Series

Click Add Scans to display a file browser. Change the Files of Type drop-down to reflect
the type of scan to be processed.
Select the files to be processed and click OK on the file browser. A message will be
displayed asking if the user wants to add more files (to allow users to add files from different
folders/locations). Click Yes to select more files or No to proceed with the processing.
Alternatively, select the files to be processed in a Windows Explorer. Right-click on the files
and select Copy. Return to the Scan Gateway interface, right-click in the white space under
the Files heading and select Paste as shown below. This can be particularly useful for
processing .fls scans where each individual fls is in its own folder. The user can search the
top level folder for all files named .fls and copy the search results into Laser Modeller Scan
Gateway.

5:4
12 Series

Once all the scans have been selected, a summary window will be displayed giving
information about whether the scans are registered, the destination folder and whether any
matching colour data was found.
Click OK on the summary window to return to the main Laser Modeller Scan Gateway
interface.

5:5
12 Series

Note: Ptx files should be formatted as shown below:
5.3
Options
Double click on the Tasks fields to display the options for that field.
Note: Options with a * are currently only available for zfs/zfc format.
5.3.1
Read Scan Options*
Allows the user to change the dead region cut-off zone in the base of the scan. The default
settings remove the points in the area directly underneath the scanner, where the scanner
may see its own tripod etc., this can be adjusted if a slightly higher viewing angle is required.
Also, resolution zfc files can be created with this function.
5.3.2
Intensity Clipping*
To aid the modelling and viewing process, it is possible to clip intensity data which are
considered too bright or too dull to be of interest. Points too low will be coloured blue in the
scan window; points too high in intensity will be coloured orange. Points that have been
coloured out in this way are not displayed at all in the 3D Modelling Window. Intensity
clipping is in force when the top check-box is enabled. The near and far clipping values can
be adjusted directly by typing a new value into the appropriate text-fields*.
* Double click on the feature name to expand, modify and <rtn> to accept change in values.
The minimum and maximum intensity values will be set to the optimum values relative to the
scanner type.
5.3.3
Range Clipping*
To aid the modelling and viewing process, data which is considered too near or too far away
to be of interest can be clipped using the near and far range clipping. Once clipped, points
too near will be coloured blue in the 2D Image Window and points which are too far will be

5:6
12 Series

coloured orange. Points that have been clipped in this way are not displayed at all in the 3D
Modelling Window. Range clipping is in force when the check-box is enabled. The near and
far clipping values can be adjusted directly by typing a new value into the appropriate textfields*.
* Double click on the feature name to expand, modify and <rtn> to accept change in values.
The minimum and maximum range values will be set to the optimum values relative to the
scanner type.
5.3.4
Generate Registration File*

If Inter Cloud Registration is required for registering any/all of the images, reference files
should be created for all scans planned to be registered in this way.
The images must be prepared for inter cloud registration prior to commencement. If Inter
Cloud Registration is known to be required when the images are initially converted from ZFS
to ZFC files, select the Generate Registration File option in addition to the standard project
parameters set in Laser Modeller Scan Gateway. This process will create registration
reference files ZFR for all processed images.
Note: ZFR files should be stored in the same directory as the ZFC images.
5.3.5
Mask Mixed Pixels*

This function is designed to significantly reduce the splatter, or spray, effect which arises
when the laser scanner's beam switches from one object to another. The algorithm will
function only when the data has been scanned in a raster fashion and so works well with the
ZFC and images that AVEVA uses. It is able to locate lone pixels or pixels which have too
few neighbours. All non-boundary pixels have eight surrounding neighbours and so, in
normal circumstances, a pixel would expect to find its nearest neighbours at similar ranges.
Those pixels at different ranges are flagged as being mixed pixels and are then masked out
of the image. The options are as follows; note that the defaults are generally optimal. To
change, double click on the feature name to expand, modify and <rtn> to accept change in
values.
"Max. Allowable Mixed Neighbours Ranges from 1-8. This value sets a threshold for
required neighbouring points; if the threshold value is not reached, a pixel is deemed
noisy and masked out.
Recommended Value - 2
"Rejection Angle (degrees) As an image is scanned by the algorithm, each pixel in turn
becomes the centre pixel with eight neighbours. Eight lines are then formed from the
centre pixel to its neighbours. Another line - the view line - is formed by drawing a line
between the centre pixel and the origin. The Rejection Angle is the angle formed
between the view line and each of the eight pixel lines.
Recommended value - 5.000
Data masked out by this function will not be visible in 3D Modelling Windows, but will be
coloured green in 2D Image Windows. The effect of the mask mixed pixels function is
entirely reversible through the Restore data points facility. (In common with all these data
points functions, the data is never actually deleted or modified, but is simply masked out and
so easily restored.)
5.3.6
Create Images - Create Bubble

The BubbleView is an alternative and more intuitive method for viewing intensity data from a
scan. In the standard 2D window the spherical scan is flattened out before being drawn onto

5:7
12 Series

the screen. This has the advantage that all of the scan can be viewed at once, but the
downside is that the scan becomes progressively more distorted at higher elevations
making it difficult for the user to interpret what is being displayed. The BubbleView
eliminates these issues by providing a dynamic but much narrower field of view at any one
time, reducing the perspective distortion. The BubbleView allows the designer to place
themselves at any scan location and to perform a virtual fly through in the laser scan. Real
time zooming and panning give the user the sensation of actually flying around the scanned
environment. Comprehensive measurement and annotation facilities are also available
within the bubble environment.
Tick the Create Bubble box to produce a BubbleView (.int) file.
5.3.7
Create Images - Create PNG

If checked, this option will create PNG images of all the scans being converted. These have
little engineering value, but are useful in sharing the scan scope with other disciplines. For
example, all the image pictures [PNG's] can be emailed to clients for review against the
project objectives. The pictures can be 'marked up' in an editor, highlighting areas of
importance for the modelling process and passed back to the designer for implementation.
Ticket the Create PNG box to produce a picture (.png) file.
5.3.8
Destination Directory
The destination directory is where all the resulting files will be created. By default this is the
same directory as the source images. To change this, click the Browse button, select the
new destination folder and click OK.
5.3.9
File List Options

To remove a scan/scans from the Files list, select the scan/scans, right click on them and
select Remove selection from list.
For further options, right click in the white space at the end on the Files list. Here you have
the option to add more files, remove all files or Set All Images as Completed. This will tell
Laser Modeller Scan Gateway that the necessary files have already been produced for the
listed scans and will just produce an .lfr file for registration or database generation.

5:8
12 Series

5.4
Processing
Once the files have been selected and the appropriate options have been set, click
Process. Laser Modeller Scan Gateway will now produce the requested files, which can
take some time depending on the size and number of scans selected.
As each scan is processed, the tick box at the side of the scan name will be ticked, a useful
indicator as to the progress of the processing.
Once the processing is complete, the progress bar at the bottom of the interface will prompt
Conversion Finished. Laser Modeller Scan Gateway can now be closed.
The resulting files (depending on the options selected) are:
Compressed scan (zfc) - 1 per scan
BubbleView (.int) - 1 per scan
Picture (.png) - 1 per scan
