Save Data
You can save the acquired 2D image, depth map, point cloud, and the virtual device file.
Save Acquired Data
You can save the acquired 2D image, depth map, and point cloud to local.
Instructions
Please follow these steps to save acquired data:
-
Click
in the data acquisition area to open the Save Data window. -
Select the data types to be saved:
-
To use the saved data in Mech-Vision, select the checkbox before Save data in the format immediately usable by Mech-Vision. The saved data can be read in the Virtual Mode in the Capture Images from Camera Step in Mech-Vision.
-
To save the 2D image, depth map, or point cloud separately, select the data type that you need to save under Data type. For detailed descriptions, please refer to Data Types and Formats.
-
-
(Optional when the 2D image, depth map, or point cloud is saved separately) change File index: If the selected Save to path already contains data saved through Mech-Eye Viewer, you can change the file index to avoid files with the same names being replaced.
If you need to replace the files with the same names, check the Replace file with the same name option. -
Click
to the right of Save to to select the folder for saving the data. -
Click Save, and the Data saved successfully window will pop up. Click Show in folder in this window to open the folder where the data is saved and check the data.
Data Types and Formats
When saving the data, you can select the file format to be saved, as well as the data structure and color of the point cloud.
-
2D image: can be saved in the PNG (.png) or JPEG (.jpg) format.
-
Depth map: can be saved in the PNG (.png) or TIFF (.tiff) format.
-
Point cloud: can select the file format, data structure, color, and reference frame to be saved.
Format
-
PLY (.ply)
-
PCD (.pcd)
-
CSV (.csv)
Data structure
-
Organized: The point cloud resembles a two-dimensional matrix, which corresponds to the actual spatial relationship between points.
-
Unorganized: The point cloud resembles a one-dimensional list.
Color
-
Jet
-
Grayscale
-
Jet + intensity
-
Untextured
-
Textured
Reference frame
-
Device: Saves the point cloud in the camera reference frame.
-
Custom: Saves the point cloud in the custom reference frame.
-
Save Virtual Device File
Virtual devices reproduce the previously acquired data, thus helping Technical Support locate the cause of a problem. To save a virtual device, click in the menu bar. The virtual device file is saved in the MRAW (.mraw) format.
| After you click Save Virtual Device File, Mech-Eye Viewer automatically acquires data once and saves the acquired data. |
You can open a virtual device in Mech-Eye Viewer, and adjust the parameters Point Cloud Processing, Depth Range, and ROI. To open a virtual device, click in the menu bar.
