Export CRI point cloud

[ppant]

HI
Is there a way to export CIR (Color and Infrared) point cloud from Photoscan. I am processing multispectral image.  I can export the colorized point could but. I am not able to see the open to see colorized based on nir, red and green band.

Thanks

I have exactly the same question!

Hello,

Version 1.4.0 supports multispectral colors export as separate color values for each channel, if the point cloud is saved to XYZ format.

Also it is possible to use False Colors representation of multiband input and visualize/export it in false RGB colors.

As you said with photoscan 1.4.0 it is possible to export point cloud with false color.  In exportPoints function, there is an option to choose format. Can we choose XYZ format there? if we choose XYZformat I am not sure how to specify the false color bands?. I am not clear over there. 

Code snippet would be helpful to understand.

Likewise is it possible to export more than three bands in point cloud XYZ format?

Thanks

Hello ppant,

If you use the following line for the export, it would save the points in XYZ format with all the color values for each band:

Code: [Select]

chunk.exportPoints(path, format = PhotoScan.PointsFormatXYZ, colors=True, normals = False, projection = chunk.crs)
For example for RedEdge camera (XYZ coordinates and five columns for each band):

Code: [Select]
