CloudCompare forum

Does anybody know of a way (in cloud compare or other software) to filter out only the low density points. It seems all search results and existing tools only filter out the high density points, but I want to keep only high density point areas. Is there some way I can select or filter points with a minimum requirement of nearest neighbours?

Yes, simply compute the cloud density (Tools > Other > Density) and then filter the cloud based on the output scalar field (Edit > Scalar fields > Filter by value). You can first play with the density scalar field properties (in the cloud properties dialog) to find the right threshold value (if you don't know it already).

See the wiki if you need more information on any of these tools (http://www.cloudcompare.org/doc/wiki/in ... =Main_Page).

Thank You!
