Hi everyone,
I would like to ask you if someone have successfully used an unroll function for cone in CloudCompare software.
My expectation was to get as a result of a similar shape to the one from this image:
But the result I got looks significantly different - rectangular:
I have tried different parameters in CloudCompare but all my tests end up as rectangles.
What have I missed? Or would you have suggestions for any alternative to the CloudCompare?
Thanks a lot!
Lukas

Re: CloudCompare - Unroll Function
Hi,
Indeed the "Unroll cone" function is not a conical projection. It actually unfolds a conical shape as if it was a rectangular paper sheet.
To achieve this in CC you could use the qSRA plugin (http://www.cloudcompare.org/doc/wiki/in ... =PluginSRA) but only to get the distance map relatively to a theoretical shape.
