Depth point cloud

The depth point cloud is generated from LiDAR depth maps.

Access:
  • Click Processing options processing_options.png.
  • On the Menu bar, click Process > Depth point cloud...
Important: Available only with PIX4Dcatch projects that contain LiDAR depth maps.

We recommend using it:

  • To get a quick overview of the project. The depth point cloud generation is relatively fast compared to the Calibrate and Dense point cloud step but still gives a good overview if the data acquisition is good.
  • To combine it with the dense point cloud to get a more complete fused point cloud. More information can be found the Depth and Dense fusion article.
