Generation of the Dense Point Cloud

To create a dense point cloud from an image group, do the following:

To create a dense point cloud from an image group, do the following:

1.	Highlight the image group.
2.	Select Dense Point Cloud from the Imaging ribbon bar or use the context menu.
3.	Once the dense point cloud process is triggered, the processing task appears in the Task pane of the Imaging tab in the Inspector and in the Task Manager. See Images.
4.	To store the result, highlight the result and select Store from the Imaging ribbon bar or from the context menu. The dense point cloud appears in the View.

If the images are not oriented or the orientation is computed but not stored. An orientation is computed first and then a dense point cloud is created, based on the computed orientation.

The Dense Point Cloud (DPC) can be also used to:

The Dense Point Cloud (DPC) can be also used to:

Create surfaces, contours and compute volumes.
Draw features, like lines and areas.
Measure distances between objects.
