E57 Image import

Hi Guys

I have had a look around and can’t see a thread on this. Was just wondering if/when full E57 import will be in RC the colored scan data comes in fine but non of the images. I’m sure all the info for the images are in the file. Seems a waste to ignore all this rich data, and would certainly help with the alignments.

+100 E57 with full panorama images from Recap, Faro, and Cyclone.
The E57s from Recap encode the full panorama images and have also points where there is no 3D info from the scanner.
Cyclone can encode panorama images as images2D tags in the E57.
Both modes should be supported.
Currently the images from E57 have a lot of gaps (interpolated colors) where there was no scan data, as well as black lines on top of the scan frequently (when exporting them as undistorted images). The areas where there was no scan data are particularly important for texturing.

any comments or news on this yet.

Sorry for the bump. Any news on if E57 images will be supported

that’s really a shame to see that there is no feedback from devs on this important topic.

Hello dear users,

We are very sorry for reaching out to you so late.

As well, we will discuss this request with the developers as soon as possible and will try to come up with a solution in the future.

Thank you in advance for understanding.
