I'd like to get a thread started about smoothing algorithims for point clouds.... Regardless of the source (ex. probe, laser scanner) most clouds don't generate perfect surfaces without "post-processing", so in the true spirit of DIY, anyone got pointers on how to to this? It go along way in helping those who are considering building their own probe or scanner and don't want to buy some of the high-dollared CAD/CAM software that supports this stuff... Plus it'll probably help those who do understand what's going on, which is always a plus... |
