Point Cloud Settings

The following Point cloud settings are available for data captured with NavVis M6 and NavVis VLX:

• Point Cloud Resolution

• Point Cloud Color

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.

  

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

• 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.
