point cloud and model have different size

Post by wxy954072132 »

Hi,
I'm doing a project that reconstructing the point cloud compared with the original model mesh.
I found that the mesh has a different size compared with the point cloud.
I can find a way to scale the mesh in order to match the size.
but it is not accurate to do this.
is there any good way to solve this?
any help would be appreciated.

One or the other will have to be scaled, or you will have to re-save your original model in the same units that your scanner is outputting.

You could use either the Align (https://www.cloudcompare.org/doc/wiki/i ... itle=Align) or the ICP (https://www.cloudcompare.org/doc/wiki/i ... ?title=ICP) tools with the 'adjust scale' option enabled?
