Error in Area Target Generator

Hi, 

 

We have a set of E57 scan data that I am trying to create an area target from using the windows tool but we are getting the following error.

 

Area Target Generator Headless Copyright 2021 PTC Inc. All rights reserved. Starting E57 processing "BEL-THER-PCS-GN-001_Structured.e57" -------------------------------------------------- E57 processing: Validation of the E57 file failed.

Pinhole images shall have minimal resolution of 1024x1024 and must be square (width = height).

 

I am not sure on what scanner the E57 file is from. Does the Target generator only support the mentioned scanners on the developer page? My understanding was that the E57 file is a generic file and therfore it shouldn't matter?

 

Any help appreciated thanks

Hello,

It is correct that the Area Target Generator only supports the scanners listed here: https://library.vuforia.com/environments/area-targets
