Extract polyline from point cloud

[NytSkab2000]

Hi,
I have this section slice of a point cloud:

Is there a way to auto generate polyline(s) tracing the center of the point cloud formations (maybe based on point density or 2d surface geometry)? I know how to extract the concave hull contour from the Section Cut menu, but I will only get the outer contour.

Thank you.

Sorry, I'm not sure to understand what you are trying to extract here... Can you maybe outline/draw it on the image?

I have this scan segment of a niche:

I will cut out a slice of this niche and manually trace the center of the point cloud with a polyline:

The resulting polyline looks like this:

I would like to know if it is some how possible to automate this process (of tracing the center of the point cloud slice with a polyline) with cloudcompare?

And you don't manage to do that with the Cross Section tool? (https://www.cloudcompare.org/doc/wiki/i ... le_contour)
