Getting started with the project

Getting started with the project means uploading your source data and running 3D auto processing. The following describes how to do upload data and run the auto processing.

1. Click the environment you are using in the Region menu and Platform menu of the NAVER Cloud Platform console.
2. Click the Services > Digital Twin > ALIKE menus, in that order.
3. Click the Project menu.
4. Select the project you want from the project list, and then proceed to the next step.
   • 1. Enter EOP
   • 2. Set 3D output
   • 3. Upload image
   • 4. Run 3D auto processing

1. Enter EOP

EOP is an abbreviation for Exterior Orientation Parameters. It refers to the external facial expression elements including the camera's 3D coordinates and environmental information at the time of shooting. The uploaded EOP is mapped to an image or video and used for 3D modeling.

The following is how to upload an EOP.

1. Click the [Enter EOP] button.
2. In the enter EOP pop-up window, click here to select the file to upload or drag the file you wish to upload. Drag and drop the file in the region or click to designate a file.
   • JSON files are supported. You must entered in the following order: image name, XYZ coordinates.
   • Click the [Download sample file] button to see the supported file formats. Download the sample file, enter its contents, and upload the file.
3. Click the [Upload] button.
   • The upload will start, and you can see its progress in real time.
   • The task may take a long time to complete.
4. When the upload is complete, click the [Finish] button.

2. Set 3D output

Once you've uploaded the EOP, you must upload the 3D output (outline figure). The following describes how to upload the 3D output.

1. Click the [Set 3D output] button.
2. In the set the 3D output pop-up window, select the file you want to upload.
   • Set 3D output: item to set the coordinate system; check the Japan EPSG code
   • Set 3D data creation location: click here to select the file to upload or drag the file you wish to upload. Drag and drop the file in the region or click to designate a file
     • sqlite files are supported.
3. Click the [Upload] button.
   • The upload will start, and you can see its progress in real time.
4. When the upload is complete, click the [Finish] button.

3. Upload image

Once you've uploaded your 3D output, the final step is to upload aerial photos. The following is how to upload them.

1. Click the [Upload image] button.
2. In the upload image pop-up window, drag the file you want to upload into the attachments area.
   • JPEG and tiff files are supported. The size must be 4 TB or less.

3. Click the [Upload image data] button.
   • The upload will start, and you can see the progress of each file in real time.
   • The task may take a long time to complete.
4. When the upload is complete, click the [Finish] button.

4. Run 3D auto processing

Once you've uploaded all of source data, you can run the 3D auto processing.
When all data processing progress is marked as Completed, the [Run 3D auto processing] button is activated. To run the 3D auto processing, click the [Run 3D auto processing] button.

• The 3D auto processing starts and you are taken to the Process Monitoring menu. For more information about the Process Monitoring menu, see Process Monitoring.
