Hi All,
I have a question regarding the outputs of the PIX4D Mapper. When creating a 3D textured mesh in .obj format, is the generated file georeferenced? If not, how is it possible to generate a georeferenced .obj 3D texture to use in another software? Such software could be Leapfrog or ShapeMetrix UAV. I am using this software for geological mapping.
Thank you
Kostas
.obj’s produced by Pix4Dmapper are shifted to be as close to x=0, y=0, z=0 as possible.
This, I think, is due to some software not being able to handle long coordinate numbers.
However, when it makes this shift, it does produce a file that contains the shift amount.
It is located here:
ProjectName\1_initial\params\ProjectName_offset.xyz
If you open this file in notepad, at the top should be the shift amount to x/y/z.
You can use this to shift it back to whatever your output coordinates would have been.
We use a Python script in a Point Studio workflow to do this for us, and then provide the .obj’s to our Geology and Geotechnical Engineering teams for mapping - works great!
Dear Steven,
Thank you a lot for the reply. Your feedback is valuable and very helpful.
Have a nice day ahead!
