Georeferencing point cloud using Control points

Create or open a mapping resource containing a point cloud

Local Catalog > right click on the mapping resources and choose to georeferenced the point > “Georeference resources”

Under “Manage” choose > “Ground control points” > add the points (ovf/ovt format). Convert to ovf/ovt if needed > Optimize generic resource (vectors)

Under “Tools” > “Georeference” > “Point cloud” option > “Preferences” > “3D Hover and Measurements” > select “Point cloud flat surface intersection”

Under “Tools” > “Georeference” > “Point cloud” > click each reference point in the “Georeference Point cloud Tab” using “Measure New Resource”

Choose a Method transformation > optimal for point cloud could be “Orthonormal XY”

Save the transformation

A new textfile with the georeference details will be made and saved under the same path as the location of the georeferenced > orbit_mapping_run.georeference.oxml. Deleting this file will delete the georeference.

Under “Manage” choose > Consolidation to create a new georeferenced mapping resource

Create and import 3D Mobile Mapping Resource
