Questions tagged [point-clouds]

A point cloud is a set of vertices in three-dimensional space, and is commonly the data set output by 3D scanners.

Point clouds are applicable to a variety of 3D imaging scenarios, including terrain mapping, CAD modeling, animation and metrology. A point cloud is a raw data set that typically needs to be converted into a useful data set, a process known as surface reconstruction. There are a variety of known algorithms that make this conversion.

Avoid distortion when inserting a rectangle into a point cloud using plane equation

I have a set of different point clouds, from each of which I find the plane with the largest supponrt and get the plane equation (ax + by + cz + d = 0) Using the plane equation, I am trying to insert a plane into each of the point clouds, which I…

Graph Autoencoder with PyTorch-Geometric

I'm creating a graph-based autoencoder for point-clouds. The original point-cloud's shape is [3, 1024] - 1024 points, each of which has 3 coordinates A point-cloud is turned into an undirected graph using the following steps: a point is turned into…

Aligning an image to a point cloud

I am extending a 3D webapp that visualizes point clouds, to support images. The app is based on the open source app, Potree (which in turn uses three.js), and allows measuring distances. A demo of the measurement tools in Potree can be viewed…

Coloring 3D shapes

How is it possible to color a 3D shape /point cloud (in my case a human body), in such a way that each point has a different color but the color transition from point to point is smooth, as shown in the picture below? The shape of N points is…

Filtering pointcloud

I wish to filter a pointcloud, loaded with opend3d, as efficiently as possible. Currently, I perform a downsampling of the points before making a mesh out of them and using .contains on an inclusion volume mesh I did manually. Something like this: …
