Module: Match Point Clouds ()

Description:

This module identifies common points in two different data objects of type Point Cloud and copies them into new point cloud objects. Using this module you may, for example, extract the same set of points from multiple point clouds representing different time steps in a dynamic simulation.

Connections:

A The first point cloud.

B The second point cloud. Initially, this port will not be connected to any data set. In order to use the module you have to establish a connection manually by activating the popup menu over the white square on the left side of the module's icon.

Ports:

Points

This port displays the number of points in the two input point clouds. If both input ports are connected, the number of common points is also displayed.

Mode

This port provides two radio buttons allowing you to specify which points are copied into the output point clouds. If inclusion is selected, only common points are copied. If exclusion is selected, only points not present in the other point cloud are copied.

Action

Button Export A copies points from the first input point cloud together with associated data values into a new point cloud. Button Export B copies points from the second input point cloud together with associated data values into a new point cloud.
