Visual Comparison - Pointcloud to DWG

Post by Dominic »

Hi everyone,

we are currently searching for an easy and fast way to compare pointcloud (sections) with 2D dwg plans.
Is there any software which provides this service? Including help using correct scale.

Also thinking of the possibility to visually highlight areas where points/model do not overlap. Maybe with an intervall slider which is adjustable...

Any expertise or advice that pushes us in the right direction is very much appreciated!

Greets, Dominic

Hi Dominic,
I can help you with that. We have some tools in Undet for AutoCAD plugin.

Your point cloud files are structured or unstructured?

Using the Lines Vertical DEF tool, you can create a raster image for each line, to show how its fitting with the point cloud.

Undet Point Cloud Software provides software solutions for AutoCAD, ARES Commander, Revit, and SketchUp point cloud users to save time, increase efficiency, and reduce errors in creating 3D models and 2D drawings.

Hi Marius,

thanks for the input! This even goes one step further and compares in 3 dimensions :)

Coming mainly from NavVis VLX, our pointclouds are unstructured.
Will your tool still work with unstructured pointclouds?

If not, I would also already be happy with a tool, which makes the comparison possible in 2D, by just comparing a section from the pointcloud with the CAD plan. Any ideas?

Greets!

Yes, our software works with unstructured point clouds as well. The Lines Vertical DEF tool also works with unstructured data. I can show you how it works with your data.

With structured point clouds, you can use Undet Browser features. And this is a game changer for QC/QA process. Undet Browser communicates with Undet plugins, and with one click on the point cloud point area (which is not clear to you or is not fitting with the CAD lines), you can see how this area looks in the 360-degree panoramic image. UNDET Browser will automatically find those objects in the nearest 360 photos and turn the image view to the same object you marked in the point cloud data. And also, you will be able to move the point cloud slices to a different height or position with one click, by clicking on any place in the 360 photos. Here is the video of how its works: https://youtu.be/fvhmbX2nLCc

that looks nice! watched the videp and now I'm wondering how you could display "scan positions" in unstructure pointclouds coming from a mobile laserscanner like NavVis VLX? Or is this whole abstract referring to structured pointclouds only?

the 2D view with the blue/green/red colors - comparing plan to pointcloud section - would look the same though, no matter if structured or unstructured, correct?

You can use Undet Browser features only with structured point clouds.

Yes it works with any point cloud (structured or unstructured): *.E57, *.FLS, *.RCP/RCS, *.PTX, *.ZFS,*.LAS, *.LAZ, *.PTS, *.PLY, *.DP, *.FPR, *.LSPROJ, *.FWS, *.CL3, *.CLR, *.RSP, ASCII / NEZ (X,Y,Z/i/RGB).
