Spherical images can be viewed directly in the point cloud with VisionLidar365, if the images were present in the VisionLidar Pro project during the export. For more information on integrating images into a project, refer to the Spherical Image section of VisionLidar Pro.
The visualization of spherical images is done in conjunction with the visualization of the scatter plot; the tool is available via the toolbar on the left of the screen under the heading "Spherical photos".
Spherical photos menu
This menu displays a list of spherical photographs available in the VisionLidar365 project, if any. Two check boxes are displayed in this menu:
- Show path in 3D: This option is used to display the image pellets on the screen, showing the position of the images in the scatter plot. By flying over a pellet with the mouse, a tooltip informs us of the name of the photograph in question.
- Show path on map: This option is used to display the image pellets in the map window. This option is checked by default.
Some icons are displayed to allow efficient navigation between spherical photos:
| Icon | Description |
|---|---|
 | This option allows to display or hide the list of spherical photos of the project |
| This option allows you to exit the view of spherical photos and freely move in the scatter plot. Otherwise the view is centered on the displayed image. |
| This option displays the previous picture in the list. If no picture is displayed, the first one in the list will be displayed. |
| This option displays the next photo in the list. If no picture is displayed, the last one in the list will be displayed. |
At any time it is also possible to simply click on a photo in the list - the displayed photo will change for this one. When a photo is in "View" mode, it is selected in the photo list. A right click allows you to get the history interface of photos, to view old photos and their metadata easily, if they exist.
Show path in 3D option is enabled
Visualization in spherical photography mode with the map window.
Metadata of spherical photos
All spherical photos contain metadata. This metadata can be displayed for a specific photo by clicking on it. This information is displayed according to a list, and may contain:
- Date of succession
- Time of the statement
- GPS time
- Angles of the view (XYZ)
- Coordinate of the center of the image
- Odonym of the road
- Technical details of the picture
This metadata can be displayed or not according to a customizable display. It will be possible to customize the list of metadata provided.
