    1. Introduction The ZEB Vision can be used with the ZEB Horizon system to capture 360° panoramic photography for point cloud visualisation and colourisation. Data is captured as the user walks through the area of interest. The ZEB Vision uses GeoSLAM’s leading SLAM algorithm to automatically and accurately position panoramic photos on a point cloud for an interactive viewing experience.
