CloudCompare forum

Hello,

I would like to know if it's possible within cloudcompare to keep points that are in at least N scan positions.
For instance having 30 scan of the same room at different positions and only keep points that within a threshold in at least 2 positions.
Another way of formulating this request would be to filter points that only appears in Y or less scan positions.
If yes could you precise a workflow ?

Thanks in advance !

I guess you would 'just' have to compute the distances between 2 scans, filtering the points with a distance below your threshold (with Edit > Scalar fields > Filter by value) and then use the resulting cloud to compute the distances to another scan, and repeat the process. If you have 30 scans, you may want to automate the process with the command line or one of the new Python wrappers (see the download page).

Ok, thank you Daniel, I will try.
