Hi,

I'm trying to get a Riegl laser scanning project (.RDB or .RSP) into FME. I'm able to add a Reader, but when I attach an Inspector or otherwise add any transformer, it fails. This is the error message:

"RDB Reader: Invalid dataset. File '.rds' does not exist. Please ensure both a data and an index file exist in folder '' and you have sufficient privileges to read them."

How can I best prepare a Riegl scan for FME proccessing?

 

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Hi @adamb,

By your message log, have you the file .rds in the same folder?

Wich version of FMe are you using?

Could you share us your sample data?

Thanks,

Danilo

Hey @danilo_inovacao,

My project is called "Shortys" and the filepath where an RDS is located is:

Shorts3.RiSCAN\\project.rdb\\SCANS\\ScanPos001\\SINGLESCANS\\170906_160544

Shorts3.RiSCAN\\project.rdb\\SCANS\\ScanPos002\\SINGLESCANS\\170906_162707

...

etc. (for 20 scan positions)

I am using FME Workbench 2017.1.

Where can I upload the data?

Hi, try to save your Reader in Workspace template .fmwt and see the size of file.

Hi @adamb, did you save your Workspace with your reader like a template file (.fmwt )?

 

 

Thanks,

Hi @danilo_inovacao

 

 

The .fmwt is 11kb: rdb-workspace.fmwt

Hi @adamb,

FME seems to be seeing a discrepancy between the scans listed in the project file and actual RDS files available. In order to dig into this issue, it would be very helpful to have a copy of your dataset (or a smaller subset that will produce the same problem). The easiest way to share the data would be to send a Google Drive or Dropbox link. If you don't want to make your data public, please send an email to support@safe.com, Attn Dave.

Kind regards,

Dave Campanas

Hi @adamb

 

, thanks your template file.

 

 

I opened and agree with @DaveAtSafe: share us your source data.

 

Thanks,

Hi @DaveAtSafe,

 

I've got a copy of my dataset uploaded here on Dropbox. I've truncated the dataset from 20 scan positions to just 5.

 

Thank you for any insights you can provide.

 

Cheers,

 

Adam

Hi @adamb,

 

I got the data OK, but there doesn't seem to be an project .RPP or .RSP file to read for the Riegl RDB Project reader.

 

The scan folders also don't seem to contain any .rdb and .rdx files that can be read by the RIEGL Laser Scan Database reader.

 

The data that can be read by FME will be in the project.rdb folder in your project.

Hi @DaveAtSafe,

 

I have tried loading that RDB before, and got a similar error. I've added a sample Project.RDB to the Dropbox folder I shared with you. Incidentally, the only .RDX files present are P2D. The only RDB I've found is the folder itself. Again, I've truncated the dataset to 5 scan positions by simply removing the folder. If you need the rest (perhaps to help an index file) I can upload them.

Hi @adamb,

Thank you for the new info. Your Riegl project seems to be the new version 2.0. I'm sorry, but FME does not yet support this version. We are working on adding this support, and I will notify you as soon as it is available.
