Small Rooms
Images captured in small and narrow spaces are prone to stitching errors, as walls and objects
may be too close to be accurately captured. Try the following when scanning in small rooms:
▪
Scan the room from the outside by rotating 90° to the left and to the right in front of the
room.
▪
Enter the room and rotate 360° to capture all of the environment.
Scanning Duration
In general the recommendation is to keep one dataset less than one hour long, the interface will
remind you every 45 minutes and on the hour. Datasets of around 45 minutes are best
considering alignment effort and post-processing duration.
Smaller datasets can be beneficial when a re-scanning plan is in place, where specific areas of a
building need to be re-scanned at different time intervals, or if specific user permissions are
distributed for viewing specific areas.
Do Not Scan in the Rain
The NavVis VLX is protected against dripping water. However, do not scan with it in the rain. If
water gets on the camera lenses and the laser scanners, the scanning results will be affected.
If water gets on the NavVis VLX, follow these steps:
1. Stop the scanning and shut it off.
2. Move to a sheltered location out of the rain and use a clean and dry microfiber cloth to wipe
all water from the camera lenses, laser scanners, and device housing.
3. If you want to continue scanning, start a new dataset.
4. Before you pack the NavVis VLX, dry it thoroughly using a clean and dry microfiber cloth.
Make sure water has not entered the device in the folded position.
Dusty Environments
The NavVis VLX is protected against dust during operation.
If you scan in an environment with a lot of dust, the air intake and outlet vents on the NavVis VLX
prevent dust from entering the device:
▪
The air intake vents have filters that keep dust out.
▪
The air outlet vents constantly blow air, which keeps dust out.
If dust gets on the camera lenses and the laser scanners, the scanning results will be affected.
Follow these recommendations:
▪
While you scan, pause regularly and check for dust on the camera lenses and laser
scanners.
