Rasterize via CLI

[arifrahman]

Hi,

I'm trying to rasterize a pointcloud using the command line interface.

Using the GUI version, I get a nice colored .png image

rasterize_gui.png (114.48 KiB) Viewed 570 times

However, using the CLI, I get a monochrome .tif

rasterize_cli.tif.png (258.68 KiB) Viewed 570 times

The command used was:

Code: Select all

CloudCompare -O my_pcd.pcd -RASTERIZE -GRID_STEP 0.02 -VERT_DIR 0 -OUTPUT_RASTER_RGB 

How can I get something similar to the GUI version using CLI? i.e. I want .png instead of .tif

In command line mode, the Rasterize tool can only export rasters to (geo)tiff. And it will save the altitude of points as is, and not as RGB colors or anything. The colored display you see in the GUI version is the false coloring CloudCompare applies on these altitudes (or on the values of the active scalar field).
