Do you have any idea of what the correct transformation would be?

Hum, if the RDS files are read by the 'old' Riegl filter (the one I developed myself) then I remember having discussed about this field with someone from Riegl because I found the values to be 'strange' but he told me that they looked fine... Compared to the values you get with the exporter, I bet t...

The good thing is that CC is an open-source project, and anyone can add this functionality ;)

Have you followed the instructions on the wiki? https://www.cloudcompare.org/doc/wiki/i ... n_(plugin)

Hum, I'm afraid not.

Sorry, I don't understand your problem well enough to be able to help. LAS files don't contain the trajectory of the vessel. But sometimes you have the GPS time and the scan angle rank, etc. that may help 'guessing' it. But if you have this trajectory as a polyline for instance in CC, you won't be a...

Hum, those stripes look like the big coordinates were not handled properly and some accuracy has been lost... It may not help the classification process!

I guess it's because they don't have exactly the same extents. In this case, you can at least setup the grid extents (with the 'Edit grid' button of the Rasterize tool) so that the starting point is the same. At least they will be exactly at the same position in space. Of course if the extents of th...

Meshlab can import point clouds (ASCII, PLY, etc.).

And yes, you can export the resulting meshes as PLY, OBJ, STL, FBX, etc.

As the documentation says, you have to select (highlight) a point cloud. And make sure you select the cloud and not its container in the DB tree.

For point clouds, you can find some E57 and LAS files easily on the web.
