Smart Triggering of Cameras

The NavVis SmartTrigger technology takes the current mapping speed and angular velocity into account when deciding whether to trigger the cameras.

  • After moving a set distance, a shutter sound will inform the user that the mobile mapping system is ready to capture the next image.
  • If the mobile mapping system moves or turns too quickly, or shakes, the cameras will not be triggered:

The speed indicator at the top of the mapping dashboard will turn yellow.

To trigger the cameras, slow down or stop the mobile mapping system and wait for the shutter sound.
Note: While slowing down is sufficient for the device to trigger the cameras, we strongly recommend that the user stops for each image. This increases the image quality, especially in poor lighting conditions, and prevents motion blur.
