Edit->Normals->Compute in Command Line

Hi,

I am trying to compute normals on a point cloud in Command Line. A post said it wasn't possible, but it was a year ago. I found the function "-OCTREE_NORMALS", but I'm not sure it does the same thing.

Besides, I would like to obtain the best radius automatically, as it is possible when you compute normals with CloudCompare interface.

For the moment, I have tried that :

Code: Select all

CloudCompare -O -SKIP 1 "C:\Users\Elton\Dropbox\stage\bat\x0 y0 z0.pts" -OCTREE_NORMALS AUTO
Thank you.

Martin

Indeed, one can now compute normals in the 'generic' way (without scan/grid structures). However the actual command line code doesn't let the user asks for the "auto" radius. One would have to update it.
