Working with point clouds

Prev Next

Aura processes scan data into point clouds and provides workflows for refining, georeferencing, merging, and analyzing them.

This section covers:

  • Processing Profile: Selecting a built-in profile for SLAM, GCP, merge, colorization, or 360 image extraction.

  • Creating a custom profile: Saving custom processing settings as reusable profiles.

  • Check Points: Using surveyed points to validate point cloud accuracy without affecting georeferencing.

  • Process scan data with Ground Control Points (GCPs): Georeferencing scans against surveyed control points.

  • Merge Workflow: Aligning and combining multiple scans into a single point cloud.

  • Reprojecting Point Clouds: Transforming a processed point cloud to a different coordinate reference system.

  • Generating 360 Panoramic Images: Extracting and registering 360 images from scan-captured video.

  • Change Detection and Convergence Monitoring: Comparing two scans of the same area to detect and measure changes.

  • Measurement Tools in Aura: Taking point, line, and angle measurements in the viewport.

  • Custom Masks for Colorization & 360 Image: Creating image masks to exclude unwanted features from colorization and 360 image extraction.

  • Aura scan environments: Selecting a scan environment for optimized default processing settings.

  • Processing scan data: Running SLAM processing on raw scan data to produce a point cloud.
