Shooting Plan Select shooting spots

  1. A distance of 1.5 m between 2 shooting spots is recommended.

  2. When shooting, the distance from the camera to walks should be 1.5m.

About “safe distance” of shooting
The working principle of the camera is derived from the recognition of a point cloud in space. If shooting from a too close or too far position, the lens may be unable to fully recognize the point cloud, which may cause image distortion and point misalignment. Therefore, we recommend a shooting distance of approx. 1.5m-2 m between the camera and the wall be. In addition, please try to avoid shooting in an environment with many mirrors, which may cause calculation errors.

Planning a route

  1. Plan your route and follow the route direction to shoot at each spot.
  2. In larger spaces, it is recommended to take an S route.

Spot Adjustment Function

This function is to assist the scene reconstruction. In case the spot position is shown on a picture and the real spot position is different. This function corrects the spot position. The operation steps are as follows:

  1. Switch the button on the bottom left, start the “Spot adjustment” mode by activating it.
  2. In this mode, you can hold the latest-shot spot and drag it to the correct position.
  3. Ensure the new position is correct. Click”” to complete.
    TIPS: This function is only available for the latest-shot spot, which cannot be applied on the previous ones.

Panoramic Video Function

Based on the collected data from specific a spot, the panoramic video function supports recording/playing a video on the spot. When roaming to a spot with a video, the panoramic video plays automatically, which lets the space tell the story. The process of panoramic video recording:

  1. Plan the video content and determine the video spot because the video recording cannot be paused.

  2. During the shooting, at the selected spot, set the main lens towards the direction to be shown in the video.

  3. Finish the picture shooting of this spot first. Then switch to “Record” mode. Click ” CD ” to start recording, click again to finish the recording. The video length is max. 30 minutes, the camera cannot be moved during the entire recording process.

  4. The system will automatically save the video after shooting. You can continue shooting other spots by switching to “Photo” mode.

FAQ

What is the difference between a 4DKanKan Pro and a panoramic camera?
A panoramic camera captures panoramic pictures or videos, while the 4DKanKan Pro produces a 3D scene of the space.
3D scene vs panoramic photo
A 3D scene contains structural information and image information of the captured space. The user can roam anywhere in the 3D scene and obtain the length, width and height of the space. A panoramic photo is an a2D image that cannot record the 3D structural information of space and can only be rotated by 720° at a fixed point.
3D scene vs panoramic video
A 3D scene contains structural information and image information of the captured space. The user can independently select the roaming route and the length of stay in the 3D scene without any limitation of time and perspective. In a panoramic video, it is possible to choose a line of sight, but you can only watch the video according to the fixed route and rhythm provided by the photographer.
What is the difference between a 4DKanKan Pro and a traditional 3D modeling camera?
Traditional 3D modeling cameras are highly dependent on professionals, who are required to complete on-site scanning and modify models afterward. In terms of model generation speed, it takes more than 300 minutes for shooting and model calculation for a space of 150 n-i. 4DKanKan Pro uses artificially intelligent algorithms to generate 3D space autonomously without manual intervention. Non- professional users can also easily operate it after reading the manual.
What is the accuracy of the 4DKanKan Pro?
The resolution of 3D scene shot by a 4DKanKan Pro can achieve 8K, and it supports 4X detail magnification. After the 3D scene is generated, the measurement information in the space can be read with centimeter-level accuracy.
How can I watch the 3D scene via VR goggles?
Open the generated 3D space on the mobile phone and click the ” ®” in the lower right corner of the viewing interface to switch to VR mode. After that, you will convert to VR mode. Then place and fix the phone to matching VR goggles, then you can watch the immersive 3D scene.
About account
In order to help users to get started quickly, 4DKanKan Pro provides a “Camera Account” and a “User Account”.
The “Camera Account” is the initial account of the camera-generated at its manufacture. You just need to connect to the camera WiFi to enter the camera account. The camera account can be used for shooting, editing, and managing scenes, but top-up and capacity expansion are not supported under the camera account. The “User Account” refers to an account registered by the user in the APP or on the official website and can be logged in with a password. After binding the user account to a camera’s SN number, you may top up and expand the capacity for the camera account.
Note: If you connect the camera in the APP to enter the camera account, then sign up and log in to a user account in the APP, the system will simultaneously display the cloud scenes from the camera account to the user account.
About hotspot position drift
At present, the space range for adding hotspots is limited to the model space where the calculation is completed. If the hotspots are marked out of the model space, “position drift” may occur. You can improve the accuracy through the following operations: Enter the “Model Edit” page, adjust the ground edge lines, expand the model space to cover the hotspots, then add hotspots again.
Note: In the definition of the scene space range, the 2D perspective shall prevail. The visible range is within the scene space.
4DKanKan Pro APP is compatible with which devices? 4DKanKan Pro iOS version is compatible with iPhone 11/11 Pro/11 Pro Max, iPhone X, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XR, ‘Phone 8/8 plus, iPhone 7/7 Plus, iPhone 6s/6s plus, and iPhone SE with iOS 11 system and above.
The Android version of the 4DKanKan Pro APP requires the following configuration or above:

  1. Processor: Snapdragon 6 series 655 or above, Snapdragon 8 series 820 or above, Kirin 710 or above.
  2. System requirements: Android 7.0 (64-bit OS) or above.
  3. Memory RAM: above 2GB

About split shooting paths
The split shooting path means that after finishing the first path during the shooting process, you need to return to a junction point and continue to shoot another path. Split shooting paths require the use of the “Spot Adjustment” feature.
On the “Project” interface, click the “ “, open the “Spot Adjustment” function, then tap the nearby shooting. After that, click the “ ” in the lower-left again, close the “Spot Adjustment” function, so the “Junction Spot” is done. You can start shooting a new path from this spot on
Note: It is recommended that the distance from the new point to the old one be within 1.5m.
About reshooting
The solution for scenes that need to be reshot is as follows:
Find the scenes that need to be reshot in “Local”, and click “. “-> “Continue Shooting”. Enter the “Shooting Project”, click the “ ” in the lower-left corner, open the “Spot Adjustment” function, and then click the point closest to the selected shooting area. After that, click the “ ” in the lower-left corner again to turn off the “Spot Adjustment” function. In this way the junction spot of the new area will be determined. You may start shooting the new path from this point.(It is recommended that the distance from the new point to the old one be within 1.5 m).
Notes:
The working principle of the camera is derived from the recognition of the point cloud in space. If the old point cloud in space cannot be recognized at the new shooting spot, it may cause a calculation failure of the new point. Below are the common misoperation: no junction spot is set in the reshot area/the junction spot is far from the first point during the actual reshooting.
If the reshot area is near the last shooting spot, click the ”  ” in the upper right corner to quickly set the last shooting spot as the junction spot.
About exposure
Please try to avoid direct sunlight on the lens, otherwise, it will cause overexposure. In addition, in a dark indoor environment, overexposure could also be a prominent problem.
About the charging process
In order to ensure the best performance of the camera, the cooling fan will automatically turn on during the charging process. If you shut down the camera while charging, the system will stop running the fan. When plugging in, the fan will be turned on again. After the battery is fully charged, the camera will automatically shut down.
Others How long does it take to process the modeling calculation after uploading?
A: For a space of 100rri, the calculation time is about 10 minutes. When more than one user uploads the calculation at the same time, the server will carry out the calculation according to the sequence.
Where is the data stored?
A: The data is stored on the cloud servers.
Can 4D KanKan Pro realize 3D reconstruction on objects?
A: Our camera is mainly used for the reconstruction of space rather than small objects. The current version of the camera does not support object modeling. But we are planning to launch this function in our future versions. Please stay tuned!
What are the special restrictions for space reconstruction?
Shooting spots: support a maximum of 200 spots per scene Hotspots: support a maximum of 30 spots per scene
After the calculation, is it possible to modify the scene?
When the model has been uploaded, you can download the model to local, modify it in detail, and then upload it again when you are satisfied.
Can the 4DKanKan Pro do the spatial measurement?
Yes. You can turn on the ruler function and measuring function in the measuring tool. While roaming in the scene, the dimension of the space will display automatically. You can also select any 2 spots in the scene and measure the distance in between.
How can I create a scene of a multi-floor space?
You may create a scene for each floor, as well as add hotspots within each scene. Inside the hotspots, you may add the link of scenes for other floors. Once the scenes are finalized, you could go to any floor easily by clicking on the links in the hotspots.
Can I acquire the data of models and upload them on my own website?
A: You can log in to the PC terminal and enter “My Scene”, click the ” ” in the upper right corner of the viewing interface to start the embedded production. Then you can apple copythe code from the “share-embed model” and embed the code in your website to realize it. During shooting, the lens(es) cannot be turned at a large angle. In order to achieve good scene modeling, please do not turn the lens(es) at a large angle during the shooting process. This action will cause the camera’s built-in gyro data to deviate.
Notes on long-term storage
The battery will self-discharge during storage. If the camera is not powered for a long time, it may cause the battery life to be reduced or damaged. It is recommended to power on for more than five minutes every two months to maintain battery life.
