Georeferencing


The LineUp® toolbox includes a procedure to geo-reference the imported point clouds, through reference points


Point clouds georeferencing

Point list registration

To georeference any items or entire projects using two point lists


This process allows you to georeference multiple scans using both targets (or other points) and the centers of the scans (if geo-referred).

You can georeference one or more scans by selecting at least 3 points from different scans, known also in another reference system (for example from topography). In the same way a georeferentiation of  generic 3D models (i.e mesh models from BIM) is possible (see 3D Model georeferencing).

These steps will be illustrated in the following:

  1. Reference points selection
  2. Scans georeferencing
  3. 3D Model georeferencing



To find and manage reference points on the point clouds in the project, you can use the commands:

Manage control points

To manually pick points on a generic object in the point cloud and to manage them

Manage circular targets

To automatically find the center of  planar circular target or manually pick points on a generic object in the point cloud 

Manage spherical targets

To automatically find the sphere center
