In this video, Kory Kellum from Phoenix LiDAR Systems delves into the importance of accurate LiDAR colorization for creating digital twins. He explains the two main methods available: color draping from orthomosaics and ray tracing techniques. Kory defines key terms, such as orthomosaics, and discusses the pros and cons of each method.
Color draping, while straightforward, often miscolorizes vertical structures and objects. Ray tracing, on the other hand, offers more accurate LiDAR colorization but can be complex without proper tools. Kory recommends using Phoenix LiDAR’s SpatialExplorer and LiDARMill software for the best results, highlighting their advanced ray tracing, color balancing, and seam correction features. Watch the video to learn how to achieve the most precise colorization for your LiDAR projects.
