Which scalar fields Contextcapture uses for point cloud processing? I know it uses RGB,Intensity, GPStime but does it benefit if there is any extra fields like scan angle or classification?
Hi Oto, would the point clouds in E57 format contain the scanner position?
Yes E57 can have scanner position but not las. Also if the point clouds are from processed topographic LIDAR then there are no trajectroy files available so there would be need to somehow reconstruct the flight path from scalar fields as placing only one scan position produces model with missing details which are shadowed.
