Hi Daniel,

Thanks very much for adding this enhanced functionality to CC. I can confirm that with the Faro scans, we have successfully undertaken this process with good results.

Now we will try it with scans from our Topcon scanner, exported as .ptx

Daniel, You can download before and after scans from roughly the same setup position from http://we.tl/W1fIbVP8qY . These are the raw Faro X130 scans, but there are plenty of overlaps to allow a good registration (C2C works well in all our software). A graphic showing the main changes between the vi...

Daniel,

I can send you two scans from a cave before and after some major changes to the rock faces. Would you like raw Faro scans (i.e. unregistered), or shall I register them and send you the data in something like .e57 format?

Best,

Hi Daniel,

I was wondering if you have had any more chances to think about this problem and facilitate the removal of non-overlapping points by using the scanner positional info?

Kind regards,

Hi Daniel, Thanks for your thoughtful reply. It's tricky since some of the scanner positions for the repeat survey were higher up and have less shadowing than the reference dataset. The data was acquired with a Faro Focus X130 and processed in Topcon Scanmaster. So we can export registered scans as ...

I am using CC to estimate any changes in the cave surface which is all ok apart from the fact that the software detects changes where there are points present that were not in the original (reference) da...
