3D laser scanning provides the ability to capture existing as-built data. Millions of photo realistic and highly accurate 3D measurements can be acquired in seconds and collectively digitize any environment as a cloud of individual points. The 3D laser scanner is moved throughout the facility to capture data. Like placing pieces together to complete a puzzle. 3D laser scan locations must be tied together.

Autodesk ReCap Pro provides a seamless workflow to complete this with or WITHOUT utilizing targets. Simply match two points in plan-view with overlapping scandata and Autodesk ReCap Pro will run an algorithm to register both scan locations together. Once the algorithm is complete, accuracy of overlapping data is reported. Autodesk ReCap Pro can also combine scan locations from perspective views. This is often known as cloud to cloud registration. Select three points in each scan location and scan data is registered as one. Autodesk ReCap Pro has enhanced this workflow by providing images. Matching three points’ from side by side overlapping images has simplified the registration process. Once three points are matched in side by side photos a 3D registered point cloud is developed and a 3D virtual site is created replicating complete accurate as-built data of existing conditions. This 3D registered point cloud can be viewed in Autodesk ReCap. Measurements can be taken from anywhere within the virtual facility. Data can be placed on unique regions and turned off as required for renovations. Sections can be developed to compare 3D virtual site to existing 2D CAD drawings for verification of existing as-built data.

Autodesk REALITY CAPTURE TEAM has been busy. This team has only been together for a little more than a year and have already released Autodesk ReCap, ReCap Photo and ReCap PRO. Autodesk is dedicated to providing the best software in the world for utilizing Point clouds. I encourage everyone to get familiar with point clouds. Soon PC will stand for Point Clouds not personal computer.

Photos to Point Cloud Autodesk ReCap Photo

7 steps to create point cloud from Photos. For the first project just take photos around the entire object, have fun and review results.

1. Take pictures around an object.
I used this video to learn and complete my first project. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPIZlcwZQJM
2. Log into https://360.autodesk.com
3. Upload images of an object that you took.
4. Select my cloud documents in the upper right corner.

5. Select all of the photos that will be used; right click; select create 3D model

6. Will receive an email once the point cloud is completed.

7. Open rcp file in Autodesk ReCap.

ADSK Solutions,LLC offers training, support for Autodesk, point cloud deliverables and 3D laser scanning rentals and sales.

I received an error on my first try. (Browser not supported) I closed internet explorer and opened google chrome to resolve this issue.

When creating the model draft mode will provide the quickest results but will not provide the files to review the model. Select anything but draft mode to review the rcs file in ReCap.
