Scan with NavVis

NavVis supports continuous capture over large indoor spaces. 01Spatial reads spherical imagery, poses, and point-cloud data from one self-contained E57. E57 is a common reality-capture exchange format that can store those images, positions, and 3D points together.

NavVis data requires neither 01Spatial Reference Boards nor Map Configurator; upload it and start the build.

Capture

  • Follow a continuous route and keep effective mobile-scan spacing within about 2 m.
  • Slow down and add overlap at doors, stairs, corridor junctions, and open-space edges.
  • Revisit a known area before finishing to strengthen closure.
  • Avoid long stretches dominated by blank walls, glass, or moving crowds.

Export and upload

Export an E57 with 2D spherical images, camera poses, and 3D scans, then place that single E57 in a ZIP. Do not substitute PLY, LAS, or a panorama folder.

Create a NavVis map in Spatial Maps and choose:

  • Local: select the ZIP from this computer and keep the page open until upload completes.
  • Cloud, recommended for large files: upload the ZIP to a drive supported by the current Portal interface, then provide a direct file link for server-side download.

Portal reads the E57 device metadata, images, scan count, and station density. Data below the required density is rejected; marginal density is reported as a risk.

Validate

In Space Studio, compare sparse Points with the downsampled LiDAR view. Camera coverage should be continuous and the visual map should agree with LiDAR scale and orientation. Finish with production devices under representative lighting conditions.
