Fundamentals of Pixels to Desk
What is Pixels to Desk?
- Pixels to Desk is a Vaarst Product that is to be used in conjunction with Vaarst SubSLAM cameras.
- It allows the user to start a re-construction using the SubSLAM camera and then live stream the reconstruction to the Vaarst Data Platform (cloud-based), thus allowing anyone with the correct access to see the 3D pointcloud that is being built in real-time.
What features does Pixels to Desk have?
- Allows streaming of multiple re-constructions at the same time e.g. if you are using 2 SubSLAM cameras on 2 different boats in different locations but want to see both their reconstructions, it is possible to switch between both reconstructions.
- See the keyframe images alongside the pointcloud reconstruction which displays the image that the camera is looking at, this can be toggled on and off
- See the ROVs location and view in comparison to the reconstruction, this can be toggled on and off
- Download the pointcloud file as a .ply to your desktop
- Perform linear measurements (point to point)
- Perform angular measurements (angle between two lines)
What is included in a Pixels to Desk license?
- A Pixels to Desk license is purchased per SubSLAM camera
- For each camera, the license buys you the above features for up to 10 different users (seats) to be able to view the reconstruction concurrently.
- When the license is initially bought we will ask for a list of users who will occupy the seats and permissions will be allocated to them.
- Seats can be changed between different users after this, we plan to make this self-serve through the platform but for now you will have to email support@vaarst.com or raise a new support ticket through the platform help widget or through support.vaarst.com with the users you want to change.
