Why Emesent 360° Colorization and Image Capture Kits are must-have tools
In a fast-paced industry where precision and efficiency are paramount, the launch of our new 360° colorization and 360° image kits have changed the game. The fast-paced adoption and usage of these solutions is testament to the immediate value and impact that customers are experiencing. But what exactly is driving this rapid uptake?
By adding visual context to Hovernap point clouds, the 360° Colorization and Image Kits make data interpretation faster and more intuitive. These tools streamline asset identification, making it easy to distinguish between similar shapes and structures and simplifying the tracking of equipment, inventory, and other critical features in asset-intensive industries. For non-technical stakeholders who may find point clouds challenging to interpret, integrating 360° colorization and imagery greatly improves communication and decision-making across project teams. In construction and BIM workflows, these visual details support accurate model verification and progress tracking, aligning reality capture with BIM models seamlessly and effectively.
New time-saving efficiencies
Our customers often face the challenge of capturing and processing large volumes of spatial data with speed and accuracy, often in complex and demanding environments. Emesent’s 360° Colorization Kit allows users to leverage a 360° camera to capture an entire environment in a single pass, enhancing the detail and contextual richness of the point cloud while dramatically streamlining the capture process. This removes the need for the time-consuming “painting” process required by traditional perspective cameras which, although valuable, are limited by a single-angle view, necessitating multiple scans from various points to capture a complete picture. This approach could be particularly inefficient for those working indoors or in dynamic, large-scale environments where time is a critical factor.
Additionally, both the 360° Colorization and Image Kits accelerate workflows by enabling customers to process and visualize data directly within Aura, eliminating the need for third-party software and reducing time to insight.
Who benefits and how?
The versatility of these kits make them indispensable tools across a wide range of industry sectors, from architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) projects to urban planning and geotechnical mapping. , Professionals who rely on detailed, high-quality environmental data are already realizing the advantages these kits offer:
Emesent’s 360° Colorization Kit:
- Supports accelerated data capture without the need to paint an environment
- Enables vehicle or backpack-mounted capture, expanding the range of applications and environments where colorized point clouds can be generated
- Provides the ability to extract 360° images from the same data capture enhances the usability and value of the collected data, providing richer context and detail without the need for additional equipment or additional scans.
Emesent’s 360° Image Kit:
- Automatically identifies and geolocates the 360° images to the point cloud so they appear in the correct location, saving time
- Includes the option to mask out unwanted objects or people
- Allows panning and zooming from a fixed position for further analysis and easy screenshot export to share with non users of the Aura platform
- Supports custom hardware mounts for flexible deployment on vehicles, drones or other platforms
- Allows one-handed data capture for on the go efficiency
Why is this technology gaining traction?
The rapid adoption of the 360° colorization and image capture kits can be attributed to their ability to solve real-world challenges faced by our customers. By drastically improving the efficiency of data capture and the quality of the resulting point clouds, these kits have become essential tools for professionals who need to work quickly without sacrificing accuracy. Feedback from users has been overwhelmingly positive, highlighting the significant time savings and enhanced workflow efficiency that the kits offer.
As the industry continues to evolve, the 360° colorization and image capture kits stand out as critical tools that meet the growing demands for speed, accuracy, and flexibility in data capture.
