1. Introduction

The ZEB Vision can be used with the ZEB Horizon system to capture 360° panoramic photography in 4K definition for

point cloud visualisation and colourisation. Data is captured as the user walks through the area of interest. The ZEB

Vision uses GeoSLAM’s leading SLAM algorithm to automatically and accurately position panoramic photos on a point

cloud for an interactive viewing experience.

Provided the simple guidelines set out in this manual are adhered to, accurate 3D point clouds can be generated in a

fraction of the time taken with traditional terrestrial laser scanning methods.

2. List of Parts

Along with the components in a standard ZEB Horizon system, the ZEB Vision also includes the items listed below.

3. SHB Firmware Update

This version of firmware is required to send the necessary commands and timing information to the camera for

synchronisation.

Once this version is installed, the ZEB Horizon will always assume a Vision camera is being used. Therefore a

ZEB Cam cannot be used unless the firmware is downgraded. A future update will allow for the detection of each

camera.

Please follow the steps relating to the appropriate iteration your ZEB Horizon datalogger. Information on how to

distinguish which generation of datalogger you have, please consult the ZEB Horizon User Guides on GeoSLAM

Academy.

3.1. ZEB Horizon Generation 1 Datalogger

1. Ensure all data files have been removed from the datalogger

2. Download the firmware upgrade files to your machine

3. Insert the USB 3.0 drive into your machine

4. Transfer the firmware upgrade files onto the USB 3.0 drive, then remove the USB from your machine

5. Power on your ZEB Horizon datalogger and wait for the status LED light to pulse red

6. Insert the USB into the datalogger. The data LED will illuminate green to show the transfer of the

firmware upgrade files

7. Once the data LED light has switched off, remove the USB and power off the datalogger

8. Connect the ZEB Horizon scanner to the datalogger using the main cable and power on the system as

normal

9. After flashing blue, the datalogger status LED will flash red and the scanner LED will illuminate orange

during the update. Once complete the system automatically powers off.

10. Wait 10 seconds before powering on the system again. The system should now complete the

initialisation process and have the latest firmware installed

11. You may download system log file to check the firmware upgrade has been successful.

3.2. ZEB Horizon Generation 2 Datalogger

1. Connect the computer to the datalogger with an Ethernet cable

2. Open The Datalogger Control Tool. (This can be obtained from support@geoslam.com, who will provide the

software and the User Guide). The following screen will appear.

3. Click “Connect”, and then click on the “?” icon. The Datalogger’s IP address will be detected.

4. Click “OK”. The Datalogger is now connected.

5. Click on “Software, Update, SHB”

6. Choose the relevant update file.

7. Click “Yes” to continue.

4. Data Capture

4.1. Mounting and Installation

After unpacking your ZEB Vision kit, please follow these simple steps to ensure the system is set up correctly for use.

Step 1

. Remove the four rubber dampers from the back of the ZEB Horizon scanner.

Step 2

. Attach the ZEB Vision camera to the back of the ZEB Horizon scanner using the captive screws provided in

the mount. The 3mm HEX key found in the screw accessory kit can be used to tighten these screws and secure

the camera in place.

Step 3

. Insert the CAM and AUX cables into the relevant ports on the sides of the ZEB Horizon scanner head. Ensure

the red dots are aligned before insert the cables.

Step 4

. Insert one end of the main cable into the port on the side of the ZEB Horizon scanner head. Insert the other

end of the cable into the port on the ZEB Horizon datalogger. Ensure the red dots are aligned before inserting

the cables into the ports.

4.2. Collecting Data

The ZEB Vision camera will be powered by the ZEB Horizon system. Ensure the camera is fully connected before

powering on the Horizon system, otherwise it will not be detected and no images will be captured. Once the ZEB

Horizon initialisation process has been completed successfully, images will begin to be taken.

The LED on the camera will be illuminated green when powered on.

For best practices on capturing data for colourisation, please consult the guidance outlined on GeoSLAM Academy.

4.3. Downloading Photos

Insert one end of the ethernet cable into the back of the ZEB Vision camera and secure by tightening the screw. Insert

the other end of the cable into a PC which has the GeoSLAM Connect software downloaded.

4.3.1 Establishing a Connection

The Vision camera has an IP address of 192.168.0.206.

Navigate to Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections.

Right click on the port connected to the camera and select ‘Properties’.
