CMD line: add option to "use sensors" when using COMPUTE_NORMALS and OCTREE_NORMALS

[onitreb]

This is actually 2 requests, but either solution would be welcome:

1. Automatically compute normals with sensors with the "compute_normals" command (with e57 files)
2. Add option to 'use sensors' when using the octree_normals command.

This would be helpful when computing normals of e57 files using the command line.

The GUI has the option to "use sensors when possible", but currently is is not possible compute e57 normals correctly, based on the sensor position, at the command line.

PTX and FARO files work correctly. The issue is PTX (exported from FARO Scene) are enormous files and take forever to export.

he is right,
i have the same problem too,
greets

the original issue is from october, but its still
actual to me,....is there already any news about
CMD line: add option to "use sensors" when using COMPUTE_NORMALS?

it would be the last brick in my project, that
CC could do everything itself...

thx for your answer,
Unfortunately i am no real programmer, who could solve
this problem on his own :\

Hi.

Since the COMPUTE_NORMALS is used to compute normals of structured scans (PTX, FARO, DP) and it's already using the sensor (origin), I assumed you were referring to the OCTREE_NORMALS method (the way to go with E57 files).

I added a '-ORIENT SENSOR_ORIGIN' option to allow using the associated sensor origin as orientation point.

I'll update the 2.12.alpha version (for Windows) later today.

Ok, the latest 2.12.alpha version is now up to date.

hi, i testet it with e57 files, in CC Program there are sensor-Data for each node,
but in Commandline with -ORIENT SENOR_ORIGIN
it says that there is none :(

i used latest alpha version

commandline output:

Sorry for the long wait: I finally fixed the bug! I fixed it: a517fed

An updated version of CC 2.12.alpha will soon be online.
