Export E57 point cloud format
The E57 point cloud format allow you to add some useful information to the exported object.
First of all, it's possible to export the point cloud as
- E57 grid point cloud (*.e57)
- E57 unstructured point cloud (*.e57)
according to the original data in the project.
Export data layers
There is the possibility to export the the Reflectance color layer and another layer chosen by the user from those available. Also the color for invalid points can be exported, if desired.
Point normals
A surface normal vector is added to each point to indicate the surface orientation.
Compared to other export format two main features are added.
Export Projectors
- Export Projectors: by flagging this option you can export panoramic projectors that are "children" of the point cloud, as equirectangular 2D image embedded in the .e57 point cloud, keeping the same relative position cloud-camera as in the Reconstructor project.
Export Projectors for HERON® data
- Export Projectors: by flagging this option you can export panoramic single-shot projectors saved into the Heron® Survey, as equirectangular 2D image embedded in the .e57 point cloud, keeping the same relative position cloud-camera as in the Reconstructor project.
- Export a projector from the camera stream every ... : by flagging this option you can export panoramic projectors extracted from a Heron® Survey images streaming every X meters, as equirectangular 2D image embedded in the .e57 point cloud, keeping the same relative position cloud-camera as in the Reconstructor project.
