Oh!

Thanks, Jed!

That works.

I figured the 'density' option would output the scalar field.

"Enabling this flag tells the reconstructor to output the estimated depth values of the iso-surface vertices."

Then the density is used by

SurfaceTrimmer.exe "Trims off parts of a triangle mesh with a per-vertex signal whose value ...

Here is the file from the poissonrecon.exe being imported into CC. Notice 2 scalar fields. (neither works as expected).

Thanks

I've been dabbling with the poissonrecon.exe to mesh PLY files exported from CC.

However it does not seem that the --density parameter of poissonrecon.exe is outputting values that CC can use to edit the scalar field. See attached image.

Should this work?

Does the library CC uses for poisson ...

The wiki doesn't show "use sensors when possible" for -OCTREE_NORMALS or -COMPUTE_NORMALS

Is there a secret command to use sensors? If not, could this feature be added?

Thanks

For anyone interested, here is a batch command to accomplish 1-5:

cloudcompare -AUTO_SAVE OFF -C_EXPORT_FMT PLY -o <file names.e57> -OCTREE_NORMALS .01 -SF_CONVERT_TO_RGB FALSE -MERGE_CLOUDS -PLY_EXPORT_FMT BINARY_BE -SAVE_CLOUDS FILE "NormalsComputedAndMerged.ply"

OCTREE_NORMALS radius may need ...

Thanks to stack overflow...

This windows .bat works:

setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion

for %%i in (*.e57) do set "files=-o "%%i" !files!"

cloudcompare -AUTO_SAVE OFF -C_EXPORT_FMT PLY %files% -OCTREE_NORMALS .01 -SF_CONVERT_TO_RGB TRUE -MERGE_CLOUDS -PLY_EXPORT_FMT BINARY_BE -SAVE_CLOUDS FILE ...

Is it possible to open all files in a folder with a wildcard? Like cloudcompare -o *.e57?

Thanks, Daniel. I'll take a closer look at the command line options.
