What You Receive

Bring Individual Scans Together into Usable Project Data

Registration aligns overlapping scans in a common coordinate framework. We review the alignment, organize the dataset and prepare the agreed exports so your team can work with the captured conditions in CAD, BIM or a compatible viewer.

Project Guidance

What is point-cloud registration?

Point-cloud registration aligns multiple scan positions into a common coordinate system so the captured environment can be reviewed as a coordinated dataset. The registration approach depends on site conditions and project requirements.

01

Select the registration approach around the field data

Scan positions may be aligned through cloud-to-cloud geometry, targets, survey control or a project-appropriate combination. Overlap, scene geometry, control requirements and the coordinate system determine which evidence is available for connecting the stations.

02

Review alignment, residuals and coverage

Quality review examines station connections, overlap, registration residuals or error indicators, control checks when provided, and visible signs of misalignment. Acceptance criteria should match the project's measurement and downstream-use requirements rather than a universal accuracy claim.

03

Clean, organize and prepare exports

Processing may include noise filtering, clipping, scan naming, coordinate transformation and organization into manageable regions before export. E57, RCP/RCS, LAS/LAZ, PTS/PTX or project files are selected for the receiving software and agreed workflow.

04

Send existing scan data for remote processing

Your site can be in Florida, elsewhere in the United States or overseas. We review the supplied scan files, station overlap, registration or control information and required outputs before confirming the processing scope. Your team and ours agree on units, coordinates, file formats and a suitable transfer method. Where the source data supports the required deliverable, processing can proceed without another site visit.
