Take pictures from a sphere

Post by geeno17 »

Hi everyone,
I'm new to CloudCompare, so excuse the silly question. My problem is this.

I have a point cloud, and I need to center a "virtual sphere" at a specific point in the point cloud with coordinates (x,y,z). After that I need to use a properly set up camera (focal length, fov...) to take 2d pictures of the scene. The camera should be placed over the surface of the sphere, and oriented towards the center of the sphere. I need to take several pictures by moving the camera over the surface of the sphere.

Can you suggest the steps to do this? Or if there is a tool to do it automatically or semi-automatically?

Thank you very much
