Dot3D Tutorial: Registering Multiple DP Scans with AprilTags in Dot3D Pro
This DotProduct video tutorial walks us through the full procedure to register 2 DP scans to each other using just AprilTag targets and Dot3D Pro (3.2 or higher). The two scans shown comprise the first and second floor of a house under construction, each captured with the DPI-10 and optimized separately beforehand. They are registered via AprilTags in Dot3D Pro, and shown aligned in Autodesk ReCap. This procedure can be performed in Dot3D Pro or in Dot3D Edit with data captured from Dot3D Pro.
