    • The panoramicImage folder
    • The panoramicPoses.csv file

 

Uploading the Point Cloud​

The following steps should be performed after the point cloud has been uploaded and processed.

Uploading the 360° Panoramic Images​

  1. Create a New ZIP Archive:
    From the ResultData folder, compress the panoramicPoses.csv file and the entire panoramicImage folder into a new ZIP file.
    Ensure the structure remains intact (do not rename the CSV file or folder).

  2. Upload the Panoramic Images:
    Upload this new ZIP archive to your project. The platform will automatically parse the CSV file and correctly link each panoramic image.
