Explore the possibilities

Data import from various sources

Create comprehensive digital sites in one place and enhance your NavVis scans by combining them with bundles, datasets, point clouds, or 360° panoramic images from third-party devices, such as drones, 360° cameras, TLS, and total stations.

Site-referenced coordinate system

When creating a new site, you can choose from various spatial reference systems, such as latitude & longitude (WGS 84), projected spatial reference or a local reference system – allowing for survey-grade geo-registration of data. Selecting your own site coordinate system ensures that your data is aligned with your site's exact location, making it easier and faster to upload and download data.

Flexible dataset alignment and registration

To align and register NavVis scans with third-party data, use measured control points for automated alignment and streamline your workflow. Alternatively, you can use manual tools to adjust and align datasets when control points are unavailable.
This feature supports cloud-to-cloud alignment and enables accurate positioning of multiple datasets relative to each other, ensuring a coherent spatial representation of complex environments.

Seamless integration of 360° panoramas

Add 360° pano images from third-party 360° cameras to your NavVis IVION site with an easy, fast, and intuitive browser-based upload. Ideal for regular full-site documentation, the 360° images are automatically placed within your scanned spaces – no extra tools needed. This streamlined workflow keeps point clouds, BIM models and all 360° panoramas centralized, helping you enhance your digital twin without disrupting your existing data management processes.

Convenient point cloud cleaning with confidence

Point Cloud Cleanup is a NavVis IVION tool that allows users to remove unwanted points while maintaining consistency with panoramic images. Easily eliminate extraneous points without relying on external software. This intuitive feature preserves panoramic imagery, ensuring precision and efficiency. No need to export and re-import, which could compromise data integrity — refine your point clouds effortlessly.

Draft-to-publish workflow for data management

Edit your data using a draft version to make changes without affecting the live site. Once you have finished editing, aligning, and managing the data, publish the draft. This will update the published version of the site and document the changes in a change log. Users can work on the same site simultaneously, enabling streamlined operations. Data admins can manage and update new data while end users work with the latest version. This workflow simplifies data management without disrupting end users.

Frequently asked questions

This brief FAQ covers common questions for both new and existing users. For more detailed information, existing customers can explore our Knowledge Base, or new visitors can contact our team directly.

What coordinate systems does NavVis support?

NavVis IVION supports global coordinates systems, longitude and latitude, and projected metric reference systems including EPSG. Geo-registration can be done via control points or manually during site setup.

How do I georeference my scan data within NavVis IVION?

During the processing steps, upload your control point files in the global coordinate system of your choice. NavVis IVION will automatically geo-register and validate those control points via a quality map.

How can I align or register multiple datasets within NavVis IVION?

Align multiple scans using overlapping areas and common control points. NavVis IVION Processing applies geo-registration and dataset alignment during processing. Manual alignment and fine tuning can be done in the Dataset Alignment editor in site setup.

Can I move the center of rotation in dataset alignment?

You can reorient and reposition datasets within dataset alignment using the site base point, effectively adjusting the rotation center as needed.

Can I apply filters or clean up noisy point cloud data?

Yes. In the site setup, users can clean up the point cloud and remove spray points or unwanted noise while preserving detail and color.
