In this guide, we'll learn how to colorize a point cloud using an ortho image. This process helps match the visual appearance of the point cloud to the ortho image, making it easier to analyze and interpret. Before starting, it is important to make sure both datasets are aligned in the same location to ensure accurate results.
Let's get started
Today, we will colorize a point cloud using an ortho image. Only colorize a point cloud after confirming that both the ortho and the point cloud are in the exact same location. Otherwise, the colors from the ortho will not align with the features in the point cloud. I have already checked the point cloud and ortho, and imported the point clouds into Global Mapper.
