Hello everyone,
Our company is trying to find a way to use our BLK 360 with maximum efficiency. So far we are trying to solve the problem of georeferencing indoor point cloud. Initial conditions: we have BLK 360 (and Cyclone Register 360) and Trimble R2 GNSS receiver. The question is has this problem (georeferencing) been already solved in a routine manner, or there must be a custom solution every time? We do not have access to any survey data. So far the idea is to georeference the outdoor contour of a building, and then try to connect indoor point cloud to it. I am trying to understand does this task makes sense or not. If so, is there a standard solution? I totally understand it could be a matter of company’s private information, so I’d like to know in general if it is possible or not.

Re: Georeferencing indoor point cloud from BLK 360
This is how i do it all the time. I scan outside, tie it in with a geodetic coordinatesystem through gnss or total station (or combo with control of levels through a digital level).
Inside is always tied in with exterior and closed through a minimum of 3 openings (front door, back door) and a window if possible.
If you're doing multi storey buildings you would need survey control on each floor (especially with a blk), done with total station.

Thank you so much for the answer
Am I right that black and white targets with determined coordinates needed to be used? Are they like circles mounted on a tripod?landmeterbeuckx wrote: ↑Mon Jan 30, 2023 7:09 am This is how i do it all the time.

You can use either, but checkerboardtargets can be measured a lot easier with a total station or a gpsLITA_232 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 4:02 am Thank you so much for the answer
