The point cloud is just a collection of points in space. However, if these points represent the outer skin of scanned component, it’s possible to connect these points to create a wrapped polygon. This is referred as polygonized point clouds. Polygonized point clouds are used for visualization, as well as polygonal geometric representation of shapes. If data is accurate and doesn’t have any noise then direct STL file can be generated from polygonised point cloud.
This cloud should be broken into small clouds for fitting curves and surfaces. For this small clouds can be extracted. Different cross sections can be so those curves can be fitted accordingly. These cross sections may be
Several options are available for interrogation and modification of
point cloud data.
