To display points based on R,G,B values

Post by Ramiya »

Hello,
I have a point cloud file with X,Y,Z, R, G, B, Intensity value.
How to display the points based on the R,G,B value in Cloud compare

Well, with the github version (you'll have to compile it, or wait for the next release ;) you can convert the RGB fields to 3 separate scalar fields. Therefore you'll be able to 'filter' the points based on their associated R, G or B value.

Hi, Daniel,

I am new to CloudCompare too, I want to acchieve the same thing as Ramiya does, I am wondering if I can just input the R G B values of each point as three different columns from a ASCII txt file? I want to display every point in its original RGB color.

Best regards

Of course you can load an ASCII point cloud (text file) with X Y Z R G B values on each line. Then you'll be able on import to select the role for each column.
