Geolocate cloud with GPS coordinates

Post by akochiss »

Hi there, I am really new to cloudcompare and I am lost with how I can geolocate my pointcloud in cloudcompare.

I made a pointcloud from photogrammetry, the photos had no EXIF data so I had to go to google maps to find rough gps coordinates. How am I able to geolocate my pointcloud in cloudcompare with the 4 gps points (corners of the building) I was able to get? Please let me know if you can help someone starting out.

See the 'Align' tool: https://www.cloudcompare.org/doc/wiki/i ... itle=Align

You probably also have some youtube videos that explain that (for instance: https://youtu.be/2oVd5vFsBbw?list=PLBNU ... rCjtqlXN4_)
