OrbiView turns real-world spaces into interactive, data-rich environments. Using 360° panoramas and LiDAR data, it enables precise measurements, asset tracking, and issue management directly in context. Everything you need to understand and manage your assets—visually and intuitively.

Key Features

  • Full visual information
  • Metric 360o panoramas in common coordinate system
  • Automatic on-server processing
  • User-defined asset database
  • 3D measurements
  • Issue tracking
  • Available as SaaS or dedicated server installation
  • 100% in-house solution

User management

  • User management enables administrators to control users, define access policies, and secure digital assets
  • Users are grouped into organizations
  • Inside organization users can be assigned to different projects with different roles
  • All users' activities are tracked and registered for maximum security.

The data

  • INPUT
    • RGB Panoramas
    • 3D pointclouds (.ptx, .e57)
  • OUTPUT
    • Optimized RGB panoramas
    • Intensity Panoramas
    • Depth maps
    • Planes
    • Flor plans
  • PROCESSING
    • Full on-server processing using CUDA GPU based calculations. No need to install any software on desktop computers.

Project organization

  • Projects are divided into floors and rooms
  • Floor plans are used for easy navigation
  • Basic floor plans are automatically generated based on LiDAR data
  • Basic floor plans can be replaced with user-created ones or any WMS service

Navigation

  • Every panorama can be accessed by its name from the list
  • User can move between panoramas using jump symbols or marks on the floor plans
  • Particular view can be saved as hotspot and named for easy navigation to key locations

Measurements

  • Every pixel on the panorama has it’s XYZ representation in project coordinate system
  • User can measure distances, angles and areas
  • Each point is checked for reliability of the point cloud to avoid false measurements in poorly defined areas (like edges)
  • Measurement can be saved to CSV file for future use

Planes

  • Planes can be automatically detected on lidar during data processing
  • Planes are used to make advanced measurements:
    • Distance to a plane
    • Distance on a plane
    • Area on a plane
    • Angle on a plane

Objects

  • Objects are database entries linked to specific vector item
  • Objects can made of points, lines or shapes
  • User draws an object on any panorama and fills all necessary data
  • Thanks to the surveying approach object is visible automatically on all relevant panoramas

Custom database

•Object can have unlimited number of custom database fields (attributes) of several types:
•Text
•Long text
•Number
•Date
•Due date
•URL
•Boolean
•Drop down list
•Relation to other object

Table view

  • Objects can be displayed as a tables of attributes
  • Table can be exported to Microsoft Excell file for further analysis
  • By clicking on an item user can jump directly to specific object on a panorama

Editing

  • User with the appropriate permissions can edit the parameters of an object at any time, including its geometry.

Linked files

  • OrbiView allows to attach external files such as photos, scans, or documents to each object.
  • System supports two kinds of files:
    • Project library files - files that are common to many objects, like operating instructions or product cards. Such files are stored once and linked to relevant objects. This avoids data redundancy and simplifies updates.
    • Object-specific files - files that are unique to a specific object, such as a technical inspection report for a particular device. 

Issues

  • Orbiview can be used to track assed conditions and maintenance through issues
  • Issues can be attached to specific object or be placed freely on any point of panorama
  • Issues, like objects can have unlimited number of custom attributes
  • User can attach files to the issues, for example detailed photo of a damage

Issues user assignment & notifications

  • Every issue can be assigned to multiple users 
  • Assigned users are notified about issue by:
    • In-app notification
    • E-mail
  • All notifications consists direct link to the issue for fast and convenient review

Deployment and Customization

  • OrbiView can be deployed in several ways:
    • SaaS on DEPHOS Group servers
    • On 3rd party servers like Amazon or Microsoft
    • Locally on client’s infrastructure for maximum data security
  • 3rd party application integration through API 
  • 100% DEPHOS Group in-house solution can be modified and developed on demand

OrbiView vs. BIM

 

OrbiView

BIM

Data source

3D laser scans, 360o panoramas

3D laser scan, 2D documentation

Data preparation

Automatic data processing

Labor intensive modeling necessary to achieve acceptable results

Ease of use 

Images are easy to understand for non-professionals

Requires deep knowledge of BIM environment

LOD

Unlimited Level of Details, every object is visible in natural shape and color

Higher LOD requires increase of modeling time

User defined database 

YES

YES

Information

Information can be attached to any object on a picture

Information can be attached to the previously modelled items only

Issue tracking

Issues can be attached to specific object or freely placed on an image

Issues can be attached only to previously modelled objects

Costs

LOW: Data capture and system hosting only

HIGH: Data capture, modelling and system hosting

 

Key benefits

  • User friendly, easy to understand image approach doesn’t require end user to have specialized knowledge
  • Fully automated processing requires minimum effort do set-up ready to use system
  • Custom database allows to adapt to any asset management needs
  • 100% in house solution offers endless updates, development and deployment options
  • Majority of BIM functionalities for fraction of the cost.
