PIX4Dsurvey allows for the automatic registration of imported data (point cloud or photogrammetry project in the form of point clouds and calibrated images) to an existing PIX4Dsurvey project. Any data can be taken as a reference. This processing is optional but needs to be performed as the first step before proceeding with other processing (filters, grid of points, ...).
Access:
- Click Process
or,
- On the Menu bar, click Process > Automatic project alignment.
Warning: Automatic registration relies on well-calibrated projects for success. Poorly calibrated projects are not guaranteed to succeed. In general, aerial photogrammetry projects and Lidar/laser scans are well-calibrated, and their registration is mostly successful.
Reference point cloud
Choose a reference point cloud from the drop-down list of available point clouds. The automatic registration will be based on this reference point cloud.
Point cloud to register
Choose a point cloud to register from the drop-down list of available point clouds. The point cloud chosen as a reference will not be available from this list.
Warning: Vectorized data (such as polylines, polygons, volumes, ...) based on the point cloud to register will be marked as outdated after the automatic registration.
Important: The reference point cloud and point cloud to register must have common features. All associated point clouds and images will be affected.
Tip: PIX4Dcatch projects processed using the PIX4Dcatch template in PIX4Dmatic are more likely to be successfully aligned.
Tip: Registering projects in EPSG coordinate systems to point clouds in arbitrary coordinate systems will work better if the X and Y values are closer.
