From local to global coordinates, merge point cloud

[ferdaes]

Hi, I am new to cc and I want to thank all the contributors who have made this software possible. I have a question. I want to align different point clouds, each of them has its unique local reference, but I want to change this local reference to a global one, is it possible to do this in cc? And then see the merged point cloud?

Thanks,

Fer

Well, I guess?

If you know the transformation to the global coordinate system you can use the 'Edit > Apply transformation' tool (see https://www.cloudcompare.org/doc/wiki/i ... sformation).

And if you can't, you'll have to use the 'Align' tool (https://www.cloudcompare.org/doc/wiki/i ... itle=Align) with GCPs for instance. And of course you can use this tool to register the clouds one with each other.

Done with the Apply transformation tool! Thanks for your help
