5 EyesMap Modules

User Manual

Once capturing has begun, the viewer offers you the following information:

Indicator of the number of key frames undertaken.

The maximum number of key frames that can be processed

in one single capture is 400.

SLOW

This is merely an informational message. It tells you that a

new key frame is going to be generated as there is new

information in the capture being undertaken.

MOVE

Informational message which tells the user that he/she has

not yet moved enough to generate a new key frame.



Point cloud viewer:

This shows the 3D model which is being generated. Notice in the following image that

the point cloud being displayed is a sub-sample, as each key frame would have around

200,000 points. For the sake of quickness and efficiency, the density of the points

viewed in real time is limited.
