Suggestion on third party software to convert unordered point clouds to ordered for RC import

Hi, I'm trying to understand if I can import on RC a LiDaR scans with a UAV before committing in an expensive system, I already read this guide:

https://support.capturingreality.com/hc/en-us/articles/360020653080-How-to-import-any-scan-data-to-RealityCapture-using-CloudCompare-and-Faro-Scene-How-to-create-ordered-point-cloud-from-unordered-

From your knowledge, is Faro Scene the only software that can create "fake" virtual scans to export an ordered e57 point cloud for RC?

I'm evaluating a BLK360 with Cyclone 360, should I go instead with a faro focus70 with FaroScene if it's the only software able to convert a unordered point cloud?

Best regards.

  Hi xAuRax-,

  for now it is only one known software for this.

  But data from BLK360 should be already ordered, so there won't be problems using them in RC.

  Is it still the case that Faro Scene is the only known software for converting unordered drone LiDAR scans into ones compatible with RC? Like others, I'm trying to find a solution to take drone LiDAR scans and enhance them with photogrammetry. Getting ahold of Faro Scene without a Faro scanner seems very expensive.

  Hi Barrverian, there wasn't change in this. What I know, you should be able to create an ordered point cloud also in Cyclone, but I think it is still the same.

  Might it be considered as a feature requrest for RealityCapture?

  01) Import unstructured pointclouds in RC

  02) Create virtual scan positions inside unstuctured pointclouds (as you can do with Faro Scene)

  03) Export a new .lsp file that can be filnally aligned with the other components inside RC

  best regards

  Ahoj Ondrej.

  Please add my vote for this feature too. Id like to import DJI L1 Captured Point Clouds into RC to combine with photos and bring the precision of areal photogrammetry to the next level.

  Best regards

  Add my vote as well please, if its still not there. I genuinely believe that RC shines the most in the ability to combine laser scans and photogrammetry compared to few other solutions that are on the market, so focusing more on this particular aspect would be very beneficial for both RC and customers.
