INTRODUCTION
The ZEB Cam is a colour camera accessory for GeoSLAM’s ZEB Revo RT and ZEB Go portable laser scanners. The ZEB Cam
incorporates a GitUp G3 Duo action video camera. The image data collected by the camera can be viewed alongside the 3D point
cloud created by the ZEB Revo RT OR ZEB Go and used to extract contextual information.

1.2 PRINCIP AL OF OPERATION
The operation of the ZEB Cam is controlled by the ZEB Revo RT or ZEB Go scanner. The camera must be started and stopped
manually at the start and end of each scan. The resulting video data is logged directly to an internal microSD card in the camera. The
video data from the ZEB Cam and laser data from the ZEB Revo RT or ZEB Go are combined in the GeoSLAM Hub processing
application. A unique optical flow algorithm is used to determine the relative timing between the video and laser data.
The viewer in GeoSLAM Hub can be used to view the video data alongside the point cloud data from the ZEB Revo RT or ZEB Go.
