Creating a laser acquisition task (XGRIDS domain)

This article details the complete operational workflow for laser acquisition tasks (XGRIDS domain), including task creation, data upload, and mapping process instructions, helping users standardize the full-process operation of XGRIDS laser acquisition and mapping tasks.

Creating a XGRIDS acquisition task

After creating a project, click Manage to enter the mapping task management interface. Click the XGRIDS acquisition task button in the upper right corner, enter the task name in the pop-up dialog, select the mapping version and data format (recommended to use the latest version), and click Confirm add to create a XGRIDS acquisition task.

Data preparation

Before starting the mapping task, ensure the collected spatial data meets requirements and is organized and stored according to specifications. The following sections detail data acquisition and export.

Data acquisition and export

Use a laser scanner to collect spatial data. For related device configuration and key collection points, refer to:

Uploading data

Click Upload data, and select the corresponding options in the pop-up window. For specific option descriptions, see below: XGRIDS laser mapping upload data

Data location

Depending on the data source, you can choose one of the following methods to upload data:

  • Local new data
  • Previously uploaded data

Acquisition data

  1. Upload the point_cloud.ply file: Click Select, choose the specified file in the directory, and click Open. XGRIDS laser mapping upload data

  2. Upload the poses.json file: Click Select, choose the specified file in the directory, and click Open. XGRIDS laser mapping upload data

Note

XGRIDS acquisition data has fixed filenames per session. Ensure uploading data from the same acquisition session.

EIF data

  • EIF data is specialized test data in Mega for remote debugging and simulated positioning, used to remotely verify Mega effects and support simulated positioning during remote development. It must be acquired using specified tools. For detailed collection methods, refer to the EIF data collection guide.
  • EIF data is optional in the upload data pop-up. Supplementary EIF data upload is supported later.
  • Note: For EIF data collected via the Mega Toolbox mobile app, ensure correspondence between EIF data and mapping video data. For example, if mapping data is from Mei Luo City 1st floor, the uploaded EIF data should also be from Mei Luo City 1st floor.

Upload region

Select the nearest region based on the operator's location.

Confirm upload

  • After clicking the Confirm upload button, the upload progress and status will display in the list.
  • During data upload, keep the computer powered on and the network stable. Do not close the browser, refresh the page, or click other menus, otherwise the upload will be interrupted and require restarting.

Starting mapping

After upload completes, the task automatically enters Under review, as shown below.

Mapping task under review

After approval, the task automatically enters the mapping process, with status showing Queued or Generating, as shown below. Please wait patiently for mapping to complete.

Auxiliary functions

The following functions help better manage and operate mapping tasks, improving work efficiency:

View uploaded files

Click the View uploaded files button to see all uploaded file lists in a pop-up, confirming file integrity to avoid mapping failures due to missing files.

Upload EIF

EIF data is specialized test data in Mega for remote debugging and simulated positioning, used to remotely verify Mega effects and support simulated positioning during remote development. It must be acquired using specified tools. For detailed collection methods, refer to the EIF data collection guide.

Steps to upload EIF:

  1. Click the Upload EIF button.

    Upload EIF

  2. Select the EIF data directory folder, then click the Confirm upload button.

    Upload EIF

View uploaded data:

After upload completes, click the View uploaded files button to see uploaded EIF files in the pop-up. Supports Download and Delete operations on files.

View uploaded EIF data

Stop mapping

Before the mapping task completes, if incorrect data is uploaded or trajectory data doesn't match reality, click the Stop mapping button, then click Confirm in the secondary confirmation pop-up to stop mapping.

Stop mapping

Delete task

If the current mapping task fails or is no longer needed, click the Delete task button to delete it. Click Delete in the secondary confirmation pop-up to complete deletion.

Delete task

Confirming mapping results

After the task enters the mapping process, use Task status to determine completion. Statuses Task completed or Generation failed indicate the mapping task has ended.

Mapping task completed

Mapping success

When status shows Task completed, mapping succeeded and results are generated. Further review mapping results to confirm they meet expectations.

Mapping failure

When status shows Generation failed, mapping failed. Recommended troubleshooting steps:

  • View mapping report: View mapping report and find solutions based on report information.
  • Reference troubleshooting: Consult the Mapping failure troubleshooting guide for common solutions.
  • Contact technical support: If the above methods don't resolve the issue, contact EasyAR staff and provide the JobID from the mapping report for quick problem identification.
