Creating large-space fusion tasks

This article details the complete operation process for large-space multi-map fusion tasks, including task creation, data preparation, data upload, mapping operations, and result viewing, ensuring users can efficiently complete complex scene mapping requirements.

Large-space multi-map fusion functionality requires business consultation for activation. We will review based on project requirements and environmental space, unlocking fusion mapping permissions after approval. With permissions, you can manually create multi-map fusion tasks in mapping tasks.

Create multi-map fusion task

After creating a project, click Manage to enter the mapping task management interface. With multi-map fusion permissions, click the Multi-map Fusion Task button in the upper right corner. Enter the task name in the dialog box, select the mapping version and data format (recommended to use the latest version), then click Confirm Add to create the multi-map fusion task.

Add sub-maps

After creating the multi-map fusion task, add sub-map tasks for each independent collection area.

1. Click Multi-map Fusion Management to enter the corresponding management interface.
   

2. Click Add Sub-map, enter the task name and click Confirm to create a sub-map. Note: Each independent collection area requires a separate sub-map task.
   

Data preparation

Before starting the mapping task, ensure collected spatial data meets requirements and is organized/stored according to specifications. Preparation standards are similar to single-map tasks, differing only in collection methods.

Data collection and export

Use panoramic cameras to collect spatial data. Refer to:

• GoPro max device configuration
• Collection route planning
• Large-space data collection methods
• Collection checklist
• GoPro max data export

Other data specifications

• Data folder naming
• Data storage location
• Data file structure specifications
• Data file naming conventions

Upload data

Upload rules are identical to single-map tasks. Upload data under corresponding tasks. Refer to single-map task data upload.

Start multi-map mapping

After uploading all task data, click Auto-link Mapping or Manual-link Mapping to begin. Please wait patiently as multi-map fusion tasks take longer. Contact business support if prolonged.

Auto-link mapping

• Suitable for most scenarios.

Manual-link mapping

• Used when mapping results don't meet expectations.

• Steps to manually specify sub-map relationships:

  1. Arrange sub-task blocks according to actual collection area positions
     

  2. Create connections between sub-tasks
     Principle: Add links when sub-task data overlaps.
     Steps:

     • Click one sub-task, then another to create connection.
     • Error handling: Click connection line to turn red, then click Delete Link.
     • Delete all connections: Click Clear Relationships in top right.
     • Temporary save: Click top-right Save to resume later.
       

  3. For multi-floor scenarios:
     a. Check Enable Multi-floor Mode.
     b. Click Assign Floor in each sub-map box to add floor information.
     

  4. Verify all connections and click Map with Specified Relationships to start.

Auxiliary functions

The following functions help manage and operate mapping tasks efficiently:

View uploaded files

Verify file completeness to prevent mapping failures.

1. Click Multi-map Fusion Management → View Uploaded Files to check file lists.
   

2. Click specific LRV Files to preview video quality.
   

Upload EIF

EIF data enables remote debugging and simulated positioning in Mega. For collection details, see EIF data collection guide.

Upload steps:

1. Click Multi-map Fusion Management → Upload EIF for corresponding sub-map.
   
2. Select EIF directory folder → Confirm Upload.
   

View uploaded data:
After uploading, click View Uploaded Files to see EIF files. Supports download/delete.

Stop mapping

Click Stop Mapping before completion if incorrect data is uploaded. Confirm in popup.

Delete task

Click Delete Task for failed/unneeded tasks. Confirm with Delete in popup.

Confirm mapping results

Check Task Status to determine completion. Multi-map fusion tasks end when status shows Task Completed, Suboptimal Mapping Result or Generation Failed.

Successful mapping

Status Task Completed or Suboptimal Mapping Result indicates success. Results display in multi-map fusion management interface.

Result explanations:

• Task Completed: Mapping finished with successful fusion → single Mega Block.

• Suboptimal Mapping Result: Mapping finished but poor fusion → multiple Mega Blocks.
  

  For Suboptimal Mapping Result, check:

  • Collection route compliance (reference: collection specifications)
  • File upload completeness (reference: preview uploaded files)
  • Collection coverage (reference: review collection routes)
  • Manual-link accuracy (reference: manual-link mapping)
    Correct issues and recreate tasks if found. Contact support if all checks pass.

View results:

• Review collection routes
• View mapping report
• Preview spatial model
• View Block information

Mapping failure

Status Generation Failed indicates failure. Troubleshoot via:

• Mapping report: View report for solutions.
• Troubleshooting guide: Refer to mapping failure guide.
• Technical support: Contact EasyAR with JobID from report if unresolved.
