RGB color from image

[GISdba]

Hi Daniel,

Thank you very much for this great software and for the time and effort that you put into this project and for replying in this forum.

A functionality request: to be able to colorize the point cloud with RGB from an orthophoto. The orthophotos format could be GeoTIFF or georeferenced JPG. I checked the TODO.txt and it seems that this functionality is not within the list.

Thank you

Ah the wording may be different but it's already in 2 different versions:
[*] to overlay an image over the mesh with some common points and "drape" the photo on the surface
[*] To be able to transfer color from a jpg image to a mesh or point cloud. (same as Gianluca?)

Yes, that is why I couldn't find it because of the different wording. I hope that one day this could be prioritized and get implemented in CC.

Thanks Daniel. :)

Meanwhile, I believe Meshlab offers something like that? Don't know if this works on meshes and clouds or only clouds though...
