Definition of Verticality of Geometric Features
Posted: Thu Apr 21, 2022 2:52 am
Hello all,
There is a very userful tool in CloudCompare for point cloud computation: Geometric features. The geometric features include Roughness, Linearity, Planatiry, etc. And I find there mathmatical equations in paper such as the one below:
GEOMETRIC FEATURES ANALYSIS FOR THE CLASSIFICATION OF CULTURAL HERITAGE POINT CLOUDS
In the paper above, "Verticality" is denoted as V = 1 - nz, but I donot understand the meaning of "n" and "z" in this equation.
Do you have any ideas? Thank you.
