E57 File Generator with Embedded Images

This folder contains a C++ solution to generate E57 files with embedded point cloud data and images. It ensures compliance with industry standards and facilitates seamless integration with platforms such as Autodesk ReCap 2025 and ATIS.cloud.

C++ code that writes E57 files: DemoWrite01.cpp

Features

• Generates E57 files with embedded images.
• Complies with modern standards for unstructured E57 files.
• Easy setup using Docker for dependency management.

Requirements

Ensure you have the following dependencies if not using Docker:

• Xerces 3.1.0
• Boost 1.83.0

Build and Execution

Build and Run Using Docker

This repository includes a Dockerfile to simplify the build process and handle dependencies.

Navigate to the C++ code directory:

cd code/C++

Build the Docker image:

docker build -t build_libe57 .

Run the Docker container:

docker run -v <repo_root_dir>/code/C++:/app -t build_libe57

Build the C++ Solution Inside the Container

Once inside the Docker container, execute the following commands:

mkdir build && cd build && cmake ../ && make

Troubleshooting

Dependency Issues Outside Docker: Ensure that the required versions of Xerces and Boost are installed and properly linked in your build environment.
