Point Cloud Settings

The following Point cloud settings are available for data captured with NavVis M6, NavVis VLX and NavVis MLX.

• Point cloud resolution

• Point cloud color

The following point cloud settings are only available for data captured with NavVis VLX and NavVis MLX:

• High Confidence: In this mode only points with high confidence are retained and regions that have not been scanned densely are removed. This mode is recommended for narrow indoor environments.

• Standard: This mode is for general use and yields high-quality point clouds in a wide range of scenarios. This mode is recommended for larger indoor environments.

• Outdoor: In this mode points from sparsely scanned areas are retained. This mode is recommended for outdoor environments.

The following point cloud settings are only available for data captured with NavVis M6:

• Sharp Edges (default): This mode produces point clouds with details and edges in the scanned area reconstructed with a low amount of smoothing during filtering. However, the point cloud may contain noise and rough-looking surfaces.

• Balanced: This mode is a balance between smooth surfaces and sharp edges. The point cloud might contain more noise on surfaces than smooth-surfaces mode, but will have sharper edges.

• Smooth Surfaces: Surfaces will appear smooth and with a low amount of noise, but edges will appear less sharp compared to other modes. The point clouds will contain the lowest amount of noise with this mode.
