Cleaning of Unwanted Pointcloud data

Post by gifton.samuel »

We scanned around 9000 acres of Land with Riegl PH4000, in which I'm trying to remove unwanted point cloud data's of no use like vegetations and trees, intention is to create a contour map for a canal.
Does anybody have suggestion for cleaning, I use Riscan for cleaning them manually, I wonder manual cleaning of data would be time taking process and tedious. is there any alternative solution?

Cheers,
Gifton

from what I have seen so far VRMesh seems to be handling jobs like that pretty well.
Check out the website, they have some great videos.

I have not tried it myself, but downloaded the trial last night. I got a similar task ahead of me.

Hi Gifton,

if you need to segment the ground and the vegetation, you might want to look at this post:

Hi Thomas,

thank you for posting the video. I actually am working with Realworks and did not know about this. Tested it today and it worked like a charm!
