Thanks for all the input!

Hi Bernd,

.rwcx is the proprietary point cloud output format
of Trimble terrestrial laser scanners.

I am not aware of any open source software that
can read this format. Your best chance for pointers
to software that can handle this format would be
a CAD/BIM or laser scanning forum.

Once you have managed to convert this to something
that is more interoperable (PLY or OBJ, for example),
your next stops should be CloudCompare and/or MeshLab
(the latter is extremely powerful but takes a lot of
time to get used to).

Best,

Ben

Hi folks,

in a project on a former dumpside now to be transformed into a sand
lizard habitat, I saw the chance to get my hands dirty for the first
time on 3D scan data (terrestrial). I received 10GB of stuff, and now
I'm completely lost.

The data consists of .rwcx files, .tzf files and lots of other stuff.

Is there any chance that I can process any of this data with an open
source stack?
Or what should be done, to make them digestible?

Second step: There seem to be 32 different scans of the area form all
angles. In case I succeed to somehow load the data, how do I combine
them ?

For the first steps, I actually "only" would like to generate a decent
DEM from the data to be able to place some features on a map for the
guys in charge to do the habitat stuff.

Any kind of hints or links to reads about this topic would be
appreciated

Cheers,

Bernd
