Hi Flavia, there are various ways to get your results on the 2nd cloud: . Case 1: you select cloud#1 as the first survey, and cloud #2 as the second survey, in the M3C2 interface, and in the output tab you select "cloud #2". Note however that in doing so the point cloud produced by M3C2 wi...

I'll give it a try !

Hi Daniel, regarding the FARO SDK. Any chance this could be a plugin in which you would not release the source code to be consistent with FARO licensing, but the plugin would be freely available ? I suppose that even if there was a small fee for it, many user would buy it as it would be extremely us...

Hi James, picture of your point clouds would help. for M3C2: in your case, the guess param will have a limited use because what you want to do is the vertical difference. in that case you tick in the "Normals" tab: vertical. Then you don't have to worry about the "normal scale". ...

Salut Daniel,

while the links you post above are working, the one on the documentation page of the website points towards this for instance:

which is not working.

Hi Daniel,

This seems excellent. Having the possibility to load specific shifts for various projects stored on an external file is really great: I know that I tend to work with various sources of data (TLS, GPS, ALS, SRTM...) and being able to store a unique global shift for a give area is great. It will be to...

Hi Daniel,

I think they meant the "distance between 2 points" in the point picking tool, not the C2C calculation.

On my laptop (win 7 sp1), I've switched to the intel graphic card (HD3000), and I don't have the problem.
Intel drivers v8.15.10.2291

Hi Daniel, some ideas pertaining to global shift: 1. when georeferencing a locally acquire point clouds 1 (TLS, drone) to cartographic coordinates by applying the correct transformation, CC correctly detect that there is a global shift to apply (GS1), but does not offer to specify it. This means tha...

Daniel, weren't you using random color attribution for the connected component color attribution ? This was working quite well in our case when we separated hundreds of vegetation bushes. So I suppose that a random color ramp could work based on a color increment every integer value of the scalar fi...
