Hi guys, can You telk me wich scanner is best to use with CloudCompare? I'm going to measure volume of stockpile of various soil. Piles are big, about 10-15m high. I want to calculate mass and specific gravity of material. Idea is to record checkpoints of a pile and to calculate mass using CloudCompare.
Thnx

Pretty much anything, I think. Depends on your specific needs (budget, resources, speed of field and computation work, etc, etc.). You don't seem to even need a scanner and can even just start with photogrammetry, walking around taking pictures with your cellphone or instaling cameras around the piles set to capture at certain intervals, maybe even a drone if you feel fancy. Sounds quite suitable for automatization even (using CC's command line mode).
