Hands-on (Paid - Sign-up Required)When laser scanning first came into the market, it introduced a unique challenge of managing larger than normal data for many customers . Over the years, reality capture sensors have become faster at collecting point clouds as well as taking much higher pixel images, not to mention HDR formats. With today's sensors, full scans with HDR images can be captured in under 2 minutes which makes for more scans and very large data sizes. When collecting data in industrial plant settings, the facilities can be very large and many projects must address data from multiple sources captured by different contractors and service providers. Rest assured though as there are many techniques exist in Cyclone to aid in this. Participants will learn some techniques on how to import and handle large datasets, optimum file sizes for different file formats and other pertinent tips and tricks of data management. Students will also learn how to merge data from multiple databases and/or data sources using different registration techniques.
