Cloud Inspection Plugin¶
The Cloud Inspection Plugin computes descriptive metrics on loaded point clouds.
Features¶
- Global metrics: point count, bounding box, mean NN distance, density.
- Structural detection: horizontal planes, clustering, edge indicators.
- Per-point properties: normals, curvature, roughness, planarity, linearity.
- Visualization through the Cloud Info panel (coloring by property with colormaps).
- Report window + export to dataset tree.
Usage¶
- Load a point cloud dataset.
- Open the plugin from the toolbar button.
- Select the metrics to compute and click Compute.
- The results appear in:
- Dataset Tree → Inspection branch
- Message Window → textual report
- Cloud Info Panel → property-based coloring
Options¶
- Quick Test: preview computation for one metric.
- Dataset chooser: when multiple clouds are loaded.
- Color mapping: viridis, plasma, magma, inferno, jet.
- Copy report: export results to clipboard.
