DIY and Entry-Level 3D-Scanner Forum

I have written a tutorial for all those that have not enough RAM to process larger projects with Agisoft PhotoScan, which is a really RAM-eating program. To overcome the RAM limit of your computer Agisoft PhotoScan is only used to align the photos and process a point cloud, all other processing is done in Meshlab.

Enjoy!

Thank'you karsten.

Hi Karsten!
'
This is a great tutorial. I needed this feature in Meshlab before, but just couldn't figure out, how meshing of a pointclouds works

I used Faro Scenect some time ago, but had not tool to make the pointscloud output into a polygone model. This process could make Scenect a serious tool for 3D-Scannin very large structures with a DIY 3D Scanner!

Sry for my late reply, I was on a business trip.

I'm glad that the tutorial is helpful to you Bernhard (and I hope for others as well ). Bernhard thats interesting what you have written about Faro Scenect!

This was the first time I have used Meshlab for point cloud processing. It is a very powerful program with rich functionality worth to work with, but needs intensive learning. You can do it by following the video tutorials by Mr. P on http://www.youtube.com/user/MrPMeshLabTutorials and the discussion forum on http://sourceforge.net/p/meshlab/discussion/. In general I think point cloud processing is a central point in the scanning workflow. Perhaps here is someone in the forum, with more skills in that than me, who can put some lights on it?

Happy scanning,

Karsten

Agisoft PhotoScan seems like a good image processing application, and the image tutorial is what i am looking for not. thank you
