CHANGELOG - Reconstructor 4.3

Reconstructor 4.3 is out now!

The full changelog is the following:

Added

New Rendering

• added point cloud splat rendering in the application options dialogue
• added hide back-facing points option in the light settings dialogue
• added view camera cut planes auto adjustment option, available in the view parameters dialogue
• added new "Eye dome lighting" rendering effect, available in the light settings dialogue
• added view camera cut planes auto adjustment option, available in the view parameters dialogue

[HERON Add-on] Panorama Tool

• added experimental depth filling preset in the virtual scan dialogue
• added command to export HERON survey cameras (single shot, streaming or both) as a collection of virtual scans in .e57 or in ReCap .rcp project format)
• added an option to export the colour for invalid points in .e57 grid point clouds
• added support for exporting and importing the points' normals (inclination layer) in the .e57 grid or unstructured point clouds

[HERON Add-on] Dedicated HERON Import & Filtering

• added "pre-process survey" to HERON toolbar: this command runs a set of algorithms to improve HERON surveys data quality
• added "better-noise-remover" in the pre-processing dialogue
• added "data enhancements" options in the import HERON data dialogue. Options: sensor noise attenuation filter, normals computation, enhanced reflectance computation
• added an option to voxelized the HERON clouds while importing them
• added an option to keep the Curvature and Confidence layer when using the Restore raw data function
• added camera calibration checkbox in the HERON import dialogue used to improve the image to point cloud alignment
• added an option to keep the Curvature and Confidence layer when using the Restore raw data function

[HERON Add-on] Improved Bluprint Navigator

• added the "default view" button in the mesh editor dialogue

Inspection

• cloud to cloud inspection to compare two point clouds together

Changed

Import/Export

• improved compatibility of the .ptx importer with data having a non-standard grid layout
• improved compatibility of the .e57 importer with data having a non-standard grid layout
• improved the overall ReCap exporter by checking the validity of the destination folder and by improving the final information dialogue with the export results. It also fixes a bug preventing the reflectance colour layer to be correctly exported
• [HERON Add-on] improved support for HERON clouds exported without voxelization, now importing all the colour layers
• [HERON Add-on] enhanced HERON global optimization Reflectance layer by replacing the grayscale with an RGB colour map (similar to the Leica "Polarized reflectance")

Filtering

• improved the accuracy of the point radius extraction preprocessing step
• [HERON Add-on] changed the name of the Confidence layer imported from HERON data to HERON_Confidence, to avoid conflicts with the Confidence calculated within Reconstructor

Miscellaneous

• changed video codec selection
• improved the application “about” dialogue
• [HERON Add-on] dialogue when creating a movie from a trajectory flythrough. The application now uses native platform encoders to create a video

Fixed

• [HERON Add-on] fixed a missing Confidence layer from imported HERON clouds
• fixed matching of origin constraints from point list when running automatic pre-registration
• fixed crash when automatic preregistration with constrained origin through LineUp wizard and loading more origins that the scans to register
• fixed importing FARO colour of a detailed scan
• fixed importing FARO with subsampling that causes a wrong view inside the 2D windows
• fixed an issue that caused the points from certain clouds to be missing from the generated X-Ray Orthophotos.
• fixed inspection in case of georeferenced models
• fixed "Import Reconstructor project" command was not reading correctly projects generated with older Reconstructor versions
• fixed import and export of mesh files from and to files containing Unicode characters
• fixed "hide black points" command was restoring manually deleted points
• fixed a crash when importing certain .e57 files with normals
• fixed a loss of precision when importing .e57 files with large coordinates, causing artefacts in the imported point clouds
• fixed a misleading error message when recreating an X-Ray Orthophoto from the Orthophoto Viewer
• fixed an error when exporting .e57 files with non-ASCII characters in their filename
• fixed numerical issue when computing cut & fill volumes
• fixed crash when computing cut & fill volumes with the option "save planes corresponding to altitudes in project"
• fixed the view direction when selecting a single-shot camera in the Blueprint Navigator
• fixed a failure to import cameras when importing .e57 files
• fixed the export to .e57 of cameras in the .tiff format, such as the ones calibrated on a model
• fixed the focal length of perspective cameras exported into a .e57 file or imported from a .e57 file
• fixed a crash when closing the HERON Survey Editor recipe while the layer editor is open
• fixed the destination group when importing a .e57 file with multiple point clouds
• fixed a failure to import .e57 files with non-ASCII characters in their filename
