Im trying to process scan data from the ZEB Horizon and get the error code: (importsitedatasetcommand)-GeoScriptInterpreterException: Execution error 'Execution error 'Execution error 'Execution error 'Execution error 'Execution error '(slam)- External executable error. Error Running SLAM: Error: Extract Horizon Calibration Exit code: 1. Last Message: Failed to Extract Horizon Calibration - exit code 1' at line 228.' at line 227.' at line 226.' at line 217.' at line 216.' at line 57. Is it possible to save the data and get the pointcloud to work? Hoping for an answer!

To resolve errors related to processing scan data from the GeoSLAM ZEB-HORIZON and successfully generate a point cloud:

1. Use the USB Prepare Tool to download the required scan data from the ZEB-HORIZON data logger to a USB memory stick.
2. Copy the zip file from the USB stick to a folder on your PC.
3. Extract the contents of the zip file, specifically the .geoslam file (format: YYYY-MM-DD_hh-mm-ss.geoslam).
4. Open GeoSLAM Hub software.
5. Drag and drop the .geoslam file into the application.
6. Begin processing the data. The software will merge the scan data with GNSS data and display a dialog when complete.
7. Dismiss the dialog box to view the trajectory registration and check the RMS error.
8. Save the processed data, which generates a registered point cloud.
9. Optionally, convert the LAZ file to an RCP file using Autodesk Recap for use in Infraworks or Civil 3D.

Ensure GPS accuracy is within acceptable limits, though minor gaps (e.g., under tree canopy) are tolerable if the rest of the scan is sufficient.

    2D laser scan data with the IMU data to generate accurate 3D point clouds. The ZEB‐HORIZON captures raw laser range measurement and inertial data. This data must be processed using GeoSLAM’s SLAM algorithm to convert the raw data into a 3D point cloud. The data is processed using the GeoSLAM Hub processing application.

  • Page 7: Data Capture

    The process of collecting data using the ZEB‐HORIZON scanning system is highly automated. However, care must be taken to ensure that the collected data can be successfully processed into a 3D point cloud using GeoSLAM’s unique SLAM algorithm. It is strongly recommended that the user conducts a survey plan, considering the recommendations set out in the Usage Guidelines in chapter 4, before commencing data collection.
