Measurement Tool

The measurement tools on the AIVR Platform allow you to create measurements on a session with Forward Facing Video. These tools enable you to determine distances along the rails and away from the rails in the cess and wider environment, making them ideal for remote planning and maintenance.

How to Measure

Calibrate to Begin

To ensure the best possible measurement accuracy, you first need to calibrate. Follow these steps:

1. Position the Yellow Line

1. Place the left handle on the inside of the left rail.
2. Place the right handle on the inside of the right rail.
3. Position the middle handle at the vanishing point.

2. Position the Green Line

• Ensure the handles on the green line are aligned with the horizon.

3. Handling Curves

• If measuring on a curve, ignore the distant curve of the rail and calibrate using the straight portion of the rails in the foreground.

4. Set Calibration

• Click “Set Calibration” to save and automatically enter measurement mode.

By default, the system accounts for track gauge, aspect ratio, and camera field of view, but these settings can be edited if needed.

Quick Measure Tool

The Quick Measure tool allows you to see distances dynamically as you move your mouse. This tool provides real-time measurements of:

• Distance from the camera
• Distance from the rails
• Distance from the ground

You can click to change direction and measure vertically as well.

Measure Tool

Use the Measure Tool for more complex measurements that you can save and share.

1. Click to select a starting point anywhere on the ground plane of the image.

2. Each time you click, you create a junction point. From there, you can move:

• • Left/Right (perpendicular to the rail)
  • Up/Down (Vertically)
  • Forwards/Backwards (parallel to the rail)

3. Create as many segments as needed. Once satisfied with your measurement, click Save to view:

• The total length
• The length of each segment

4.  Name your measurement and select its visibility:

• Private: Only you can access it.
• Public: It will be visible to others in the same workspace.

Once your measurements are complete, they are represented on the AIVR map as pins.
