Register segmented sub-clouds and still get all other sub-clouds registered

Post by Erik »

Hello,
I have a project where I segmented 2 point clouds into different parts. Now I want to register the whole segmented point clouds over two specific sub point clouds. As an example for my project:
I have two layers with buildings that I want to register. Besides the building layers there are 2 vegetation layers, which should be registered but not included in the ICP calculation. Is there a solution for this or is there only the possibility to merge the partial segments again and then register them as a whole?

When ICP ends (on a subset / sub point cloud), you can copy the resulting 'transformation matrix' from the Console (F8) and then apply it to the other cloud(s) with the 'Edit > Apply transformation' tool.

And then merge all the clouds together with the 'Edit > Merge' tool.
