Cloud Processing


This category of tools includes functions dedicated to work with point clouds.

By applying these functions, other processes and further results are enabled.

Most of these tools work on any point cloud, some of them work only on grid point clouds (tripod scans).



Pre-process point clouds

Applies a set of standard algorithms to process point cloud data.

Merge clouds into one

Sums together a set of point clouds in one unstructured point cloud. A sampling factor can be defined.

Merge clouds and level3D density

Clusters together a set of point clouds in one unstructured point cloud. The final cloud density and sampling strategy can be defined.

Resample

Resamples the point clouds given a user defined subsample factor.

Simplify points (tripod scan only)

Makes an unstructured point cloud from the structured selected cloud and creates an hyperlink between the output and the original grid.

Extract edges (tripod scan only)

Extracts the edges as polylines from a grid point cloud. The selected point cloud must be preprocessed running the edge detection filter.


Fill holes (tripod scan only)

Tries to fill small gaps between points


Hide black points

Deletes all the black points (RGB [0, 0, 0]).

Edit 2D (tripod scan only)

Shows a structured point cloud in a 2D view editor.


Remove duplicate points

Removes copies of points with the same coordinates inside a given point cloud.


Invert normals

Inverts the normals direction a selected point cloud.

Restore deleted points

Restores the points deleted from the point cloud.

Restore raw data

Removes any changes resulting from pre-processing or editing from selected point clouds. The item position will not be changed.
