Re: Visualising Corrosion

Thank you very much for the reply Daniel. I will have a go with the meshes as well. Just to confirm, do you think measuring distances is a better way of visualising the corrosion than the roughness method I attempted?

Visualising Corrosion

Hello, I would greatly appreciate some insight into something I working through currently. Using a DSLR camera and Agisoft Metashape, I have two point clouds of a cylindrical concrete block (shown below), one taken after the block has been put into a corrosive bath (above) and one before it was corr...

Re: Converting a 3d cylinder surface to a 2d surface

Hello again. I used the ‘unroll’ tool to unroll the cylinder shown in previous post about the Y-axis. The result is not the flat rectangular surface I was hoping for (pictured below). Is that because the concrete cylinder itself is not aligned to the Y-axis? If so, is there a way for me to align it?...

Converting a 3d cylinder surface to a 2d surface

Hello. I am a relatively new user of CloudCompare. I am currently in the process of designing a workflow to quantify the corrosion of a concrete block using different point cloud capture methods (SfM photogrammetry and laser scanning). As part of this process, I would like to take point clouds of a ...
