What are Point Clouds?
Point Clouds are plotted data points representing space, with each point in an X, Y, Z coordinate to represent a surface. When you break down a point cloud's file structure, it is a bunch of arbitrary or located XYZ values and RGB values (if it is colorized). The general definition is a set of data points making up a 3D representation of the world with an XYZ coordinate for every pixel or laser.
Robotic Imaging generates point clouds with laser scanners and drones helping the industry with a few of the major problems with point clouds:
- File Sizes and Computing
- Accuracy of Registered Point Cloud
- Accuracy of Completed CAD / Revit Model to Point Cloud
- Software Compatibility
- Mult-Site Point Data Cloud Collection
