Has anyone used SLAM pointclouds to create the anchor to then import photographs and align the photos to the point cloud? I am new to Capturing Reality software and only know of the terrestrial scan workflow. The reason I want to to test this is I have a NavVis VLX that is often on the jobsite, rather than my Leica RTC360. I also want to enrich the data capture by incorporating hundreds of photos taken with a Sony A7iii for meshing and texturing. The scan will be used as the control and the photos will be adjusted and geolocated based on that pointcloud. However, the typical steps I do to achieve this is bringing in .e57 files from my TLS. The TLS positions have photos that create the rig positions. Can this be achieved with a SLAM system like NavVis VLX?
The non-structured laser scans are not supported in RealityCapture, so it can work only with laser scans that have the same information stored in them as the scans from the TLS.
The scanner positions are needed, because scans are being converted into an image cube in RC, but it is possible to fake those positions. Look at this tutorial to see how:
What you have to know is where to put the “rigs” and which coordinates to use. You scan also has to have intensity values (0.3-1.0).
