<p><b>New page</b></p><div>== Menu ==<br />
<br />
This tool is accessible via the 'Edit > Sensors > TLS/GBL > Export Depth Buffer' menu.<br />
<br />
== Description ==<br />
<br />
Exports the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_map depth map] of the selected Ground Based Lidar (GBL) sensor as an ASCII file.<br />
<br />
CloudCompare will simply ask for a destination filename.<br />
<br />
== Output file format ==<br />
<br />
The output file is organized as the following:<br />
* comment line: title (CLOUDCOMPARE DEPTH MAP)<br />
* comment line: cloud name (Associated cloud: XXX)<br />
* comment line: first angular step (min and max between brackets)<br />
* comment line: second angular step (min and max between brackets)<br />
* comment line: max depth (pMax: XXX)<br />
* comment line: depth map length (L: XXX)<br />
* comment line: depth map height (H: XXX)<br />
* comment line (///////////////////////)<br />
* then on each line: 3 values per pixel of the depth map (column, row, depth)<br />
<br />
== Example==<br />
<br />
<code><br />
// CLOUDCOMPARE DEPTH MAP<br><br />
// Associated cloud: cloud_name<br><br />
// dPhi = 0.005000 [ -0.383040 : 0.007195 ]<br><br />
// dTheta = 0.005000 [ -1.586361 : 0.137948 ]<br><br />
// pMax = 58841.890625<br><br />
// L = 345<br><br />
// H = 79<br><br />
