Save Data
You can save the acquired intensity image, depth map, point cloud, and the virtual device file.
Save Acquired Data
You can save the acquired intensity image, depth map, and point cloud to local.
| The raw image and profile in the profile mode cannot be saved. |
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-MSR, select the checkbox before Save data in the format immediately usable by Mech-MSR. The saved data can be read in the Virtual Mode in the 3D Laser Profiler Step in Mech-MSR.
-
To save the intensity image, depth map, or point cloud separately, select the data type that you need to save under Data type. For detailed descriptions, refer to Data Types and Formats.
-
-
(Optional when the intensity 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 acquired data, you can select the file format to be saved, as well as the data structure and color of the point cloud.
-
Intensity 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,and color 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 spacial relationship between points.
-
Unorganized: The point cloud resembles a one-dimensional list.
Color

Save Virtual Device File
Virtual devices reproduce the previously acquired data, thus helping Technical Support to locate the cause of a problem. Please follow these steps to save a virtual device file:
-
Click in the menu bar.
| The virtual device file is saved in the MRAW format. |
You can also open the virtual device in Mech-Eye Viewer and adjust Point Cloud Y-Axis Resolution. To open a virtual device, click in the menu bar.
