LiDAR Reconstruction

LiDAR reconstruction uses the same invocation method as basic reconstruction, but requires specific data inputs. In addition to the parameters required for basic reconstruction, set or override the following parameters for LiDAR:

Required Parameters

FieldTypeRequiredDescription
pipeline_modeintYesMust be set to 1 for pure LiDAR point cloud reconstruction
coordinate_systemsArrayYesCoordinate system definitions
camera_meta_dataJSONYesCamera parameters
image_meta_dataJSONYesImage collection
lidar_dataJSONYesLiDAR data

For detailed parameter descriptions, see LiDAR Data Specification.
