found a workaround, seems like the ascii save bug only affects the last column. So if you create a bogus scalar field, like a rough with a kernel of 0, the penultimate scalar gets saved correctly. This works on the comandline even if it creates extra files. Still, would be nice if we could save to p...

Fun times: I need to export a scalar field into matlab but it's not working, I tried: 1) export as an ascii ply. Not good. The X Y (big numbers) are truncated to integers. 2) export as .txt ascii. X Y are now fine but the scalar field is mangled and completely wrong. Tried this in 2.5.4 then tried 2...

No problem but each cloud is 300 megs (Meshlab crashes when I try to crop, grrr). How should I send them?

Thanks for the reply, I've come back to this after my summer (in Lyon and Aix-en-Provence :) ), and now I see serious discrepancies between the methods used to calculate the C2C distances. Basicly, NONE and Height Function give similar results but they are about 10 times larger than the Least Square...

Hi, I'm really enjoying CC, definitly the best scientific freeware I've ever used. So I'm comparing LiDAR and TLS vs SfM (Agisoft Photoscan). I've attached a photo of the LiDAR in CC and my Svalbard block highlighted. I've also got a small scale experiment of a wall where a similar camera was used t...

Yep, it was just a matter of selecting the right vertices!

Merci!

I'm new to CC and I'm using it to compare SfM and LiDAR. This is probably very simple, but I need to export the scalar fields produced from Cloud to Cloud and Cloud to Mesh calculations into Matlab. Ascii would be fine but the standars save function in CC just seems to save the original vertices. Su...
