Remove Duplicate Points
Input data: at least one unstructured point cloud must be selected.
This functions takes as input a set of point clouds and, for each given cloud, it invalidates any point that has exactly the same coordinates of another point in the cloud.
Since JRC Reconstructor® 3.2, this function is automatically applied to all point clouds while importing them. Therefore, you should not need to use it. However, you can run it on clouds imported with previous Reconstructor® versions. After its conclusion, this function prints to the Log window the number of removed points per cloud.
Once removed, the duplicated points cannot be restored in any way.
Many laser scanners write raw data files with a lot of points in (0, 0, 0) that, if not removed, risk to undermine further processes like filtering or mesh creation. When importing clouds into Point R3, all duplicate points must be removed.
