CloudCompare forum

Hi,
Could you please simply let me know how in cloud compare the volume density is being calculated? from my understanding a sphere scans the point cloud and then based on the defined volume of the sphere the algorithm let us know how the points are packed together in each region of the point cloud. Am I correct?

Yes, that's it. And for the 'volume density' we simply divide the number of points by the volume of the sphere (while for the 'surface' density, we divide it by the surface of the equivalent circle).

Thanks a lot.
