This resource showcases a dataset captured with the handheld XGRIDS Lixel L2 Pro terrestrial SLAM LiDAR scanner and processed within Lixel Cyber Color (LCC). LCC is the advanced 3D Gaussian Splatting reconstruction software engine from XGRIDS, capable of converting reality capture data into high-fidelity, highly photorealistic digital models.

Project Setup & Processing

To begin reconstruction, launch the Lixel Cyber Color interface and create a fresh project framework. After browsing to select your specific raw capture scan data folder, the software presents processing parameters that dictate model conversion time and output fidelity:

  • Target Reconstruction Quality: Set your target resolution balancing computation steps against point density details.
  • Video Memory Limits: Constrain VRAM thresholds manually based on your local workstation GPU specifications to keep performance optimized.
  • PPR (Point Processing Rules): Manage advanced surface compilation metrics which heavily influence processing timelines.
  • Import Workspace Choice: Decide whether to copy raw scan payloads directly from the L2 device files onto local hard drives. If files are already saved to a local folder, select No in the Import Workspace parameter card to jump straight to processing.

Clicking Start places the data in the queue, and selecting Start Rebuild executes the background computing routine. For the best, most stable processing results, make sure to temporarily close any demanding background tasks on your workstation when prompted.

Trajectory & Scan Reconstruction

Once reconstruction finishes compiling, the dense Gaussian model renders across the viewport. In this demonstration dataset, the entire environment scan took approximately one minute of field time, focusing heavily on capturing a target vehicle asset.

To cross-examine field movement consistency, open the dashboard settings panel and toggle the Scanning Path to On. This overlays a line showing the exact walking trajectory—illustrating the two complete orbital revolutions around the vehicle chassis and showcasing the system's ability to cleanly compile complex geometric details from a single pass.

LCC Inspection & Navigation Modules

Lixel Cyber Color contains a diverse array of inspection and model presentation tools designed to enhance reality capture workflows:

  • Custom Starting Points: Define and save a localized default view angle to dictate exactly what orientation presents when opening the file structure.
  • Spatial Roaming Keyframes: Generate smooth camera animations through the space. Trace your targeted layout path by anchoring sequential camera keyframes inside the model canvas.
  • Scale Avatars: Switch movement mechanics between orbital look-around steps and dropping an interactive 3D scale avatar into the scene to quickly review height ratios.
  • Volumetric Clipping Tool: Slice out or clear raw scan noise, peripheral bounding elements, or unwanted data zones using contextual clipping boundaries.
  • Notes & Field Annotations: Anchor interactive descriptions directly to specific coordinates, with support for attaching inspection photos, custom notes, and downstream web hyperlinks.
  • Measurement Engine: Gather point-to-point structural dimensions, geometric linear distances, and precise 2D surface area computations instantly.
  • LiDAR Point Cloud Toggle: Seamlessly flip the display mode away from Gaussian surfaces over to the raw underlying SLAM point cloud to inspect point density.

Once all site notes and layout adjustments are finalized, save your current project state to export assets out in industrial-standard **PLY** point frameworks or native **LCC** project packages.
