- Use Leica scanner to take scans of desired locations
See LeicaProcess.md for additional considerations and references regarding producing higher quality scans
- Connect to Leica scanner through Cyclone software and import scans to project
- Ensure scans are properly oriented, use automatic alignment if possible
- Export scans as point cloud (.e57, .ptx) May take a long time to process
- Import point cloud file
- Inspect point cloud for fidelity
- Merge scans as required
- Clean unwanted points from point cloud
- Segment point cloud into rooms for better mesh generation
- Export point cloud as .ply
See CloudCompareProcess.md for detailed steps, additional considerations, and references
- Import .ply point cloud file
- Simplify point cloud
- Compute normals
- Generate mesh with poisson surface reconstruction
- Generate texture for mesh using point color data
- Export mesh, texture, and material files as .obj, .png, and .mtl
See MeshLabProcess.md for detailed steps, additional considerations, and references
