MAGNET Collage: Advantages of Cloud-to-Cloud Registration

• When two or more clouds are integrated based on a 3D shape.
• In order for Cloud-to-Cloud to work you will need the following:
  • There should be an overlapping area between the scan position data
  • There should be sufficient “distinct and characteristic shapes” in the overlapping area.
  • Execute with the scan data position and specification roughly matches as initial condition
  • Align by methods such as occupation point/backsight point method, resection method, and manual registration to roughly match the positions. 

• It can be used without registration with tie points or occupation point/backsight point, or manual registration
• After executing occupation point/backsight point registration
• After executing tie point registration
• After executing manual registration

This can be done to improve the integrated data. 

• Select the scan position that needs to be registered.
• Go to Ribbon – select Fuse > Manual
• Use Shift + Left-drag to translate the scan position to the desired position

• Select Rotate under Manual Registration on left
• Use Shift + Left-drag to rotate the scan position to the desired orientation. 

• Select the Model and go to Fuse
• Select Cloud-to-Cloud.
• Select the one scan position that needs to be registered and one that has good overlap

• Touch Add to Selected Stations
