![]() ![]() Since the setups are treated just like the TLS scans, you benefit from the full use of FIELD 360 functionalities – such as adding tags and measurements or cleaning up the point cloud. With this approach, FIELD 360 gets you the best results in the fastest way possible. The Iterative Closest Point algorithm (ICP) is always looking to minimise the difference between two point clouds, so data captured in each frame is constantly corrected and placed in the right position by aligning the existing data. When starting the scan, you will be prompted with steps and tips on how to use the system for the best results. Basically, you pick up the iPhone or iPad, start scanning and, importantly, the software treats these scans the same as TLS scans, like the RTC360 or BLK360. The first one is a stand-alone workflow where you can create scans by using only the Apple LiDAR sensor. We have two types of workflow scenarios in mind. Additional visual cues and step-by-step guidance ensure that our existing and new users alike will be able to easily incorporate this feature into their workflows.Ĭan you walk us through how someone would add scans from LiDAR sensors from Apple devices into their workflow, with or without Leica Geosystems laser scanners? When ready to begin, the “start scan” button is clearly differentiated from the TLS button for our sensors. FIELD 360 understands that the LiDAR sensor will be used. It’s about expanding capabilities, not confusing users so all of this has been carefully thought out in design.įor example, when using the new LiDAR functionalities in the iOS version of the app, you can create a job without being connected to a scanner. During development, we kept a strong focus on user experience, from navigation to visibility in the field based on colour pathways. Can you tell us more about user experience and the new functionalities?Ĭyclone FIELD 360 is intuitive and modern, no matter which platform you are using. ![]() One trademark of Cyclone FIELD 360 is user friendliness and intuitive guidance. Another feature, which I think will make a big difference, is the clean-up tool, which allows you to clean your point cloud in the field, ultimately helping with registration. ![]() ![]() With our new release, the main added functionality is that you can use the integrated LiDAR sensors in the latest models of iPhone Pro and iPad Pro to capture stand-alone scans or complete existing point clouds captured with your Leica Geosystems scanners. Additionally, FIELD 360 lets you export data in different formats and forward data to office software. It’s the only software that can perform in-field registration, enrich the data with measurements and tags and clean the point cloud directly in the field. Can you review the background of the app and introduce key features of the release?Ĭyclone FIELD 360 is the field application that controls most Leica scanners, including the Leica RTC360, Leica BLK360, and Leica ScanStation P-Series. Since its inception, Cyclone FIELD 360 has become a crucial tool for initial point cloud processing. In this Expert Insight, Simona Hriscu, terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) Product Engineer in Leica Geosystems' Reality Capture division, answers questions about these developments and shares how Cyclone FIELD 360 can put the point cloud in your pocket. Leica Cyclone developers saw this as an opportunity to augment their field application, Leica Cyclone FIELD 360, with innovations that both enhance capture results for existing users of Leica Geosystems laser scanners and support stand-alone scanning for those newly enabled by Apple’s LiDAR sensors. However, Apple’s 2020 release of iPhones and iPads equipped with LiDAR sensors suddenly made scanning available to an array of new users. While the potential is clearly in view, accessibility issues like cost or technical expertise have kept reality capture on the distant horizon for many. Businesses benefit as well – a burgeoning design firm can record accurate architectural details to create renovation plans and offer compelling 3D visualisations to clients. For example, scanning provides an important resource for professionals who make time-critical captures, like documenting crash scenes or digitally preserving endangered heritage sites. Laser scanning solutions hold great promise for users to develop digital reality deliverables across industries and use cases. ![]()
