Point Cloud Upload
Make sure you know your data before uploading it. Point cloud upload has no preview of the data location before upload. Thus you need to be sure about the EPSG code before uploading. Data must be in a projected coordinate system (e.g. WGS84 is NOT fine).
Point clouds should be no more than approximately 10x10km in area. If you have larger point clouds (for example long roads or railway lines) please cut and crop them to smaller pieces before upload.
One of the most common global EPSG codes is 3857, Web Mercator that is a worldwide projected coordinate system. This is also the only suitable EPSG for Infrakit integration.
Pointscene supports point cloud formats E57, las, and laz. Please upload E57 using the Upload file page!
How to upload point cloud
- If you are in the Site, you can find site options in from the right-side panel
- If you are in the Sites -list, you can find Site options with the Options button on the row.
- Choose Upload point clouds from the site options
- Select point cloud files (one or multiple in the same area, will be merged together)
- Enter capture date, name of the point cloud and EPSG code
- Optional: Click “Duplicate uploaded data in another coordinate system” for conversion. Please note that conversion only works for las and laz files, but NOT with e57
- Optional: Click Set Offsets if your data uses a local shift, set project origin into the coordinate system.
- Click Next, then Upload
- Keep the browser tab open until the upload is complete.
You will get an email once the processing is finished or an error has occurred. Support will contact you if failure happens.
