Can Ricoh theta Z1 colorize point cloud?

[juncheol]

I have a mobile laser scanner but this scanner doesn't have RGB camera so just give me none colorized point cloud.
If I use theta Z1 with this MLS, Can I get colorized point cloud like BLK 2 GO?

Depends very much on the mobile laser scanner that you are using. It would need to have a mounting point for a camera and the ability to export a trajectory file with position and pose. The colorization software would need this, the camera intrinsic parameters and the offset details from the camera centre to the IMU centre. Good discussion on this here, https://laserscanningforum.com/forum/vi ... p?p=104301 but it relates to static scanning.

I'd recommend talking to your mobile laser scanner manufacturer to see if they can provide this information and take it from there. External camera support is starting to become the norm.

I managed to colorize point cloud from FJDynamics S1 slam scanner with ricoh theta sc2 (worse that Z1).
I did this in Agisoft Metashape. Results were quite good.

Cool. Was the camera mounted on the SLAM scanner or used with entirely separate static tripod positions? If mounted on the SLAM scanner, we photos taken manually or timed?

Separate position of photos but I also mounted camera on this scanner but haven't tried it yet. It shoots with 8 sec interval as well so it's possible.
The trick is to mask your hand/body/tripod in Metashape before aligning panos.
