Solid Point Cloud Overview

AVEVA Point Cloud Manager 4.4.2 and later offers a new way to view and interact with 3D laser data, which is called the Solid Point Cloud. This new point rendering technique offers immediate clarity without the need to select regions of interest to view in high detail.

The Solid Point Cloud offers significant benefits to a user wishing to quickly navigate through the scene, as the view appears solid at the outset and when moving.

The Solid Point Cloud supports standard Point Cloud Manager flight, selection, measurement, and volume storage, and can be overlaid with a CAD model (Point Cloud Manager and supported CAD links) for convincing immersive design reviews with as-operated laser scanned conditions.

An important feature of this view format is that a user can utilize a variety of 3D capture devices on a project without losing the visual clarity that they have been accustomed to.

With the introduction of the Solid Point Cloud, all mobile devices can contribute data to this new visual format. These devices include:

• Hand-held

• Vehicle based

• Airborne
