Registration (Point Cloud Registration)
Registration is the process of aligning multiple individual scans into one continuous, correctly positioned point cloud in a shared coordinate system.
We register every scan against a Leica Total Station control network rather than cloud-to-cloud alignment alone — this hybrid approach is what lets us hold millimeter-level accuracy across a large site without a formal ISO certificate.
