(4) You’ll then see all assets loaded and automatically aligned. This ensures all points from the point cloud are at or above the x-y plane.
After the Summer 2019 Software Update B, the Smart Alignment Tool first positions the point cloud, then positions the point array relative to the point cloud. In a future update the user will be given the option to first position the point cloud such that all points are above the x-y plane, with the point array being positioned relative to the point cloud in z. This will maintain the relative z-alignment of your point array and point cloud. If this occurs, simply select both the point array and point cloud objects simultaneously and adjust the z positions using the z control grip (press “3” on your keyboard), or select both the point array and point cloud objects and change reference point z value until all point cloud points are above the x-y plane. This may result in point cloud points being beneath the x-y plane. The z position of the point cloud object is then adjusted to be in agreement with the point array. NOTE: Before the Summer 2019 Software Update B, if you import both a point array AND a point cloud using the Smart Alignment Tool, the z position of the point array is determined FIRST such that the lowest point in the point array will sit on the x-y plane.
Just load your tfw file and all of your data will import into your scene already aligned! This is shown below. If you use photogrammetry software, such as Pix4D, then you’ll love the Smart Alignment Tool (released with the 2019 Summer Software Update). Automatic Image Scaling and Alignment with the Smart Alignment tool using tfw files. Aligning Point clouds, points, and Aerials. (9) Aligning points with Google Earth aerial imagery.Įach of these options is demonstrated below, where we want to align an orthomosaic and point cloud from Pix4D, as well as ground control points.Ħ. (8) Aligning objects using the reference point feature.

Automatic Image Scaling and Alignment with the Smart Alignment Tool using tfw files. (6)Ěligning Point clouds, points, and Aerials.
Manual Image Scaling and Manual Alignment with the Easy Alignment Tool using Control Points. (5)Ěligning Point clouds, points, and Aerials. Manual Image Scaling and Manual Alignment (VC4 legacy method, current VC3 method). With this update, users will have the following methods to import and align data: In this post, we’ll review the ways users can align aerial imagery, points, and point clouds. With the Summer 2019 Software Update, Virtual CRASH 4 users have more ways to align data in Virtual CRASH.
