3D Models

pmvs/recon0/models/option-0000.ply -- The point cloud file

odm_meshing/odm_mesh.ply -- The meshed surface

Texturing

odm_texturing/odm_textured_model.obj -- The textured surface mesh

You can access the point cloud and textured meshes using MeshLab. Open MeshLab, and choose File:Import Mesh and choose your textured mesh from a location similar to the following: odm_texturing\odm_textured_model.obj

Georeferencing

odm_texturing/odm_textured_model_geo.obj -- The georeferenced and textured surface mesh

odm_georeferenced_model.ply/laz/csv -- The georeferenced point cloud in different file formats

Orthophoto

odm_orthphoto.png -- The orthophoto, but this is a simple png, which don't have any georeferencing information

odm_orthphoto.tif -- GeoTIFF Orthophoto. You can use it in QGIS as a raster layer.
