Do you mean black parts of the LSPs? These are empty spaces where laser scan didn't make measurement. They shouldn't be used in textures. Probably using more laser scan positions could help there.
@@CapturingReality Thanks for your answer. Yes, the black parts of the photos. For some reason, many of my photos have these black parts. Is there a way to tell RealityCapture to ignore those regions but use the non-black pixels of the photos?
@@carlosanderson4629 Those black parts shouldn't be used in the process as for those parts there are not data. Were those images created by RC? Or are those data directly from laser scanner? If you are using just images you can use masks to disable that image's parts.
@@CapturingRealityThose images were generated by RC because the original photos don't have those black regions. The most prominent black regions appear directly under each scan location.
Hi, Thank for this tutorial, it help me a lot but i got some issues. On the field i've taken datas from 3 differents devices : drone/scanner and a handheld scanner (BLK2GO). During the merge phase, all my datas got connected except the handheld scanner ones. Also, i've tried to create a mesh of the handheld scanner only but it was a disaster, do you have an idea of what cause these issues ?
When there is a good overlap between data you don't need to change any settings. When you are getting two components, then it is a good idea to use georeferenced data or you can use some control points placed over datasets.
Hi sir, I made a handheld laser scanner prototype that colourize in real time, but at low resolution texture 1cm in the best case, point clouds can be as high as I want with 99% of surface coverture. 1-could I improve the result of colour resolution using pictures as done here having in account they are unstructured point clouds, (without normals)? 2- Can I use video ( to the same camera that use the lidar)? I don't need so many quality as here 5mm of resolution would be enough as I'm learning. Your answers would help me a lot. Thanks by this tutorials
Hi Andres, handhelds scanners are not supported by RealityCapture. The texturing can be improved by using images or videos. But you will need to have ordered and structured pointcloud with known laser scan positions.
@@CapturingReality Hi, do you have some explainations of why handhelds scanners are not supported by RealityCapture ? I've tried to used the datas of my BLK2GO to create a mesh but it was not working properly
Hello! Thank you for video! But one thing i cant anderstand: how i can merge together model from laser scanner and model from photos? You have not show that trick. I've tryed many times, but can't find such command.. Please help to understand. In "Help" it is written to use .lsp togeter with images! But this does not work - I keep getting 2 separate models all the time and nothing more.
Hello, does your laser scan contain color information? Have you imported it with color? You can find some tips how to merge several components on our official user forum, for example: support.capturingreality.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001485012-How-to-put-together-more-components- support.capturingreality.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/115000783911-Align-laser-scan-with-images
This looks awesome! However, after installing the trial version of the software I quickly became overwhelmed trying to combine .e57 scan data and photos. Maybe a more detailed video with audio an audio explanation of the setting would help. Are there any webinars out there on this topic? I've seen some fantastic models generated by this program and would really like to know how?
Hello Kyle, currently there is no such detailed video tutorial. However, you can find more information about settings related to importing laser scans in the application Help - Combine Photos and Laser Scans. You can also find some useful tips and tricks on our official user forum support.capturingreality.com/hc/en-us
hello and thank you, this video is mostly just a basic demostration of how it works, you can find detailed information in the Help section of the software itself, as well as at our user forum: support.capturingreality.com/hc/en-us, there are also several videos created by RealityCapture users across the Internet

@@CapturingReality I cant seem to get my structed e57's to kick out a mesh. Looks like the default minimal distance between two vertices is set to .002. Any suggestions?
@@CapturingReality I used Faro Scene to register my .fls scans. I then export my ordered .e57 files and import using the laser scan import in RC. I click align images and am able to see the sparse point cloud but when I attempt to generate mesh nothing shows up. I tried the same process with ordered .ptx and it seemed to work fine. Curious as to why .e57's didn't go.
Hi, thanks for showing what's possible. This is great software! 1 question: Is it better to have laser scan data that is black and white or laser scan data that already has color info (HDR) if i want to add custom taken photo's (from full frame) to sharpen up the textures and cloud? Which (foto or scan) texture does RealityCapture take or does it combine the colors of both sources?
hi, when you combine laser scans with photos, it is better to use laser scans with colour information; further, you can choose whether you want to build texture just from pictures

What are the 3d point cloud file formats can be used?
If I only have laser scan images, how can I handle those black pixels from the scan (also seen in this video)? They're showing up on my textures.

Basically, RealityCapture doesn't support handheld scanners, only the terrestrial ones.
How settings you set when align dense laserscan point cloud and photos?
When there is a good overlap between data you don't need to change any settings. When you are getting two components, then it is a good idea to use georeferenced data or you can use some control points placed over datasets.
@@CapturingReality thanks. I understand. Unfortunately RC have a lot of hidden buttons, methods,tricks.

i have a handyscan 700 and i would like to make that process, what would you recommend me
can't find any info how to scan with laser any help on that ?
just buy a laser rofl: But that shit is expensive i only saw that ppl from national geographic use that to scan old buildings etc.
thats what i ask if where are other solutions like Planeless Scanning forum.david-3d.com/viewtopic.php?t=3135
Well there is a way if you good camera to take a bunch of pictures to make a model
well thats for RealityCapture im talking about laser

Why is that video so fast ?!?!
Which laser scanner was used during the process?
I don't have this information, but it was terrestrial laser scanner.
no sound
well, you can listen to your own music or anything else :)
nice software but $12k for this software
