Welcome to Leica Infinity 3 2 Licensed Modules Licensed Modules Leica Infinity - The bridge between field and office • is designed to support the user by grouping product features to workflows. These workflows are grouped to modules, and most modules are optional letting you choose what work you perform with Leica Infinity. Infinity Basic Option Includes the core data in and data out modules: Home, Features and External Services for easy field to office or office to field data preparation. As well access to all the Backstage Tools to support getting started and working with your Leica precision measurement sensors.

Level Option 4 Licensed Modules • Manage level lines - edit start/end points, join or split lines. • Process level lines - edit staff corrections, reprocess and generate reports. • Level network adjustment (1D) - complete levelled height networks. Surfaces Option • Compute 3D surface using individual points and point clouds. • Add break lines, boundaries or exclusion areas, to edit a mesh. • Calculate volumes. • Create contours. • Cut Fill Maps and compute tolerance lines. Scanning Option (incl. Surface option) • Measure within point clouds for comparison and checks. • Visualise scan data in different colour modes - SNR, Intensity, RGB. • Automatic and manual point cloud cleaning tools. Imaging Option • Compute points from images taken from TPS stations. Point Clouds from Images Option (incl. Imaging Option) • Orientate images. • Create dense point clouds. • Generate digital surface models and orthophotos. Infrastructure Option • Import, visualise and organise road design data. • Repair road data before sending it to the field, for example live edits to road geometry or fixing string line connections. • Document and report field applications, including stakeout and checks with tolerance flags. • Manually input a road and compute daylight string lines. Adjustments Option • Combine TPS, GNSS and Level data. • Full 3D, 2D and 1D computation. • Compute loops and display of error ellipse and reliability.

The objects are the basic entities for performing operations. All objects are intelligent objects which means that they are interrelated with each other. Sym- Object Description bol Points A point is a named object that represents a loca- tion with either local or global latitude and longi- tude coordinates, and possibly a height or eleva- tion. Lines A line is used to describe feature objects by drawing a line between two or more points. Areas An area is a closed line object. Setups A setup is the source of any measurement obser- vation. Observations An observation is the measurement that defines the source of a point. GNSS Tracks A GNSS Track is an object resulting from process- ing moving or mixed data. Traverses A traverse is a series of intervisible points at which angles are measured and also distances can be measured, to determine the station set- ups. Sets of Angles A set of angles is a series of observations that are reduced to an angular value. The angular value is then coordinated from the source of the observations. Surfaces A surface is a triangulation network representing points, cloud points, lines and areas. Point Cloud A point cloud group is a defined group of point Groups clouds that represents a single object, used for cleaning or surface creation. Point Clouds A point cloud is a measurement object from the data source. Image Groups An image group is a defined group of images that a user can measure image points from. Images An image is a picture captured that is represen- ted by its position or object it is assigned to. Georeferenced An image that has been ortho rectified and can Images be placed in the project coordinate reference frame. 6 Getting Started with Leica Infinity Sym- Object Description bol Alignments The alignment is a linear object made of multiple segments geometrically defined and joined together. It defines the route of a road construction, gen- erally its centreline or axis. Roads A road is made of several objects including a cen- treline and a material layer. The material layer describes the stringlines assigned to it. Material Layers Are the layers constituting a road. A Material Layer groups a set of stringlines that belong to the same level, material or phase of construction. Cross Sections A cross section is a slice or cut at a certain chain- age of the road, displaying the position of differ- ent linear features connected together in a cross section view. Cross Section Result from cross sections templates being Assignments assigned to a road. Stringlines result from inter- connecting cross section assignments. Stringlines Are special line objects that can either be impor- ted from CAD or defined via cross section assign- ment. Point Roles and Point Symbols Sym- Point Role Description bol Control point This is a Control point that is not considered for (not fixed in adjustment and not fixed. adjustment) 1D Control point This is a 1D Control point that is considered for (fixed in height) adjustment, fixed only in height. 2D Control point This is a 2D Control point that is considered for (fixed in posi- adjustment, fixed only in position. tion) 3D Control point This is a 3D Control point that is considered for (fixed in position adjustment and fixed in position and height. and height) Adjusted meas- This is a measured point that has been adjusted ured point by least squares method or in a traverse compu- tation. The Adjusted Least Squares point role will include the adjustment method 3D, 2D or 1D. Station Setup This is a point on which a station setup exists after import of field data. Averaged Point This point is derived by averaging two or more measured points. Getting Started with Leica Infinity 7 Sym- Point Role Description bol TPS reduced This point is generated from the reduced obser- measurement vation computed from sets of angles, reduced foresights or a traverse. TPS measured This is a point that has been measured using a with reflector reflector. TPS measured This is a reflectorless measured point. reflectorless TPS measured This is a point that has been measured without instrument EDM information. Typically, such points are imported from XML. TPS measured This is a Control point used in a Setup application Setup point (with and a measurement has been taken with reflec- reflector) tor EDM. TPS measured This is a Control point used in a Setup application Setup point and a measurement has been taken with reflec- (reflectorless) torless EDM. Fixed RTK/Fixed This is a GNSS RTK measured or post-processed PP phase fixed point (most accurate). xRTK/Widelane PP This is GNSS xRTK measured or a Widelane post- processed phase fixed point. PPP converged This is a GNSS point measured with Precise Point Positioning, final position converged. Float RTK/Float This is a GNSS RTK measured or post-processed PP point with float solution (less accurate). PPP converging This is a GNSS point being measured with Precise Point Positioning, final position not yet con- verged. Code RTK/Code This is a GNSS RTK measured or post-processed PP point with code solution (least accurate). Navigated RTK/ This is a GNSS RTK measured or post-processed Navigated PP point with lower accuracy.
