Merging pointclouds and viewing them differently

Post by pmr »

I'm using command line to process the pointclouds and CCViewer to show the result. I would like to see the subsampled master cloud in RGB and the classified parts of it (coming from separate clouds) in the color of the SF ( one color for each SF value). Is it possible? For instance, I have a whole church, which I would like to present, subsampled in RGB for the general context, and a part of the church, for instance, the columns, which I would like to present superimposed to the master cloud, but with one solid color. Is it possible using command line to create such a composed cloud?
I'm thankful for any help.

Ah no, color field selection can only be done within CloudCompare (GUI). There's no mean to control these via the command line...

What is the meaning of setting the active SF =-1 ? I thought it would mean 'no scalar field', hence RGB. Am I wrong? Sure I am.

It would indeed mean 'no SF'. But if the Color source is 'Scalar field', then it will just correspond to a blank display (= point are displayed with the default color). It's also possible to do this in the GUI version.
