DATA PROCESSING

It is necessary to process the raw data collected by the ZEB-REVO portable mapping system
using GeoSLAM's novel 3D SLAM algorithm to generate a 3D point cloud of the
environment that has been mapped. This is done using the GeoSLAM Hub processing
software.

application will copy the dataset into a processing folder and then open the Options
dialogue page shown in Figure 5-2. The Options dialogue page presents the user with two
option settings tabs: OUTPUT tab and PROCESSING OPTIONS tab. These configuration
options are described in more detail in Chapter 6. In general, the default settings can be
used unless you need a specific output file format or you need to re-process the data with
non-standard processing parameters. Once the output and processing options have been
set, click the PROCESS button.
The display will switch back to the DATA page and a processing progress bar is displayed
against the data set being processed. The data will take approximately as long to process
as it did to capture (using default output and processing options). Data processing may
take considerably longer if none default settings are selected. In particular, processing of
