CloudCompare forum

Hi,
I have been using a dataset from a LiDAR terrestrial scanner of a beach. I have been referencing all of my spheres with GNSS coordinates in meters using the tool picking equivalent point pairs. I used a total of 22 points that I matched with their corresponding coordinates. The result is showing a slight shift between features such as rocks or big logs, as we can see on the picture, when compared to the drone dataset of the same area. Although, when I compute a C2C comparison between the Lidar dataset and the drone dataset, C2C results show almost no difference between those two logs.

Can there be an error in the display in CC?

Thanks in advance!

Isn't it just an issue with the colors of the points maybe? (have you tried turning the colors off, and enabling EDL for instance to see the true shape of the cloud?)

Else, it's a bit hard to see on these screenshots. If you could send me the clouds and the points I can try to reproduce the issue on my side? (daniel.girardeau [at] gmail.com)
