CloudCompare forum

I fell that CC should have the ability to read and show image, because information extraction by fusing lidar data with image can be better finished and better result can be obtained. I look forward to this function.

Hi,

In fact there is also some ways to import images (the custom ICM format, based on VRML descriptors, and the Bundler ".out" format). But right now you can only see the cloud in the same way as the camera which took the picture (and you can change he image transparency).

Can you give more details on the kind of things you would want to do with those pictures?

Fusion of remote sensing image with lidar data to extract buildings is an interesting work, and it can obtain better result by fusion of two data than only using a kind of data. I want to using the CC to do this work, therefore the CC need have the function of reading and showing image.
