LiDAR processing

[marcosthiago]

Hi,
I have for each image a point cloud generated by a LiDAR (I currently use an Intel Realsense L515). I tried to use the "import points" Metashape Professional but from what I understand I can only use one cloud at a time. When I merge the clouds, everything messes up, because it doesn't consider that there was speed and acceleration in capturing the points.

I can either export in PLY, generate a depth map, or PCD via PCL. What would be the best way to work with this data for a 3D reconstruction?

I also tried using Import via Laser Scans, but I'm trying to figure out the correct way to write dynamic depth in JPG. What is the reference for mounting a correct file with the format of "Dynamic Depth Image"? Would it include the depth information in the "GDepth" tag of the EXIF?

Thank you very much in advance

Hi, marcosthiago!

You can import photos with external depth maps in Metashape Professional using python console.
Refer to the second section of an article https://agisoft.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/31000162212-smart-cameras-with-depth-sensor-data-processing

edit:
You can use import depth gui script as well https://github.com/agisoft-llc/metashape-scripts/blob/master/src/import_depth.py
