CloudCompare forum

After some more poking around, I don't think it is providing any significant advantage over the workflow with segments suggested in the manual.
As you said the overlap estimation is key.

Thanks for humouring me though.

All the best.

Hi again, This is what I've been trying and the logic behind it. I guess it is the idea behind remove far points? But gives some manual control and a bit of eye-on checks. First pic - an example of the very patchy cloud (a surface one here) Second pic - segments of 2 meshes at an area with high dens...

Thanks Daniel, I am attempting to estimate the overlap, it was actually trying to give myself more of a visual clue as to a good estimate which started me down this route. Though I don't quite have the knack of efficient cloud to cloud distance comparison, some clouds (open area especially) seem to ...

I'm working with some pointcloud of very rocky,craggy spaces where there's lots of occlusion and low overlap. markers aren't ideal, and feature based manual alignment is going so far. off the cuff ICP is way out no matter what setting I try and while manual segmenting as per the manual does some goo...

Hi, Thank you very much for getting back. I've finally got back round to looking at this again and found an effective solution with the existing tools. Embarrassingly simple and I expect it's just that I didn't word my question clearly, but for anyone else stumbling like me, here's the current solut...

Hi, thanks for the reply, I'll keep looking and if I find a solution i'll try and remember to come back and post for anyone else interested.
Cheers

Is it possible split 2 (or more) clouds/meshes into segments along the lines of intersect? I'm after making...
