Point cloud characteristics & types
- Do you support point cloud classifications?
Yes, since version v620. - Do you support unstructured, structured, or unified point clouds?
You can open all three types of point clouds in NUBIGON as long as they are in a supported file format.
Octree Generation
- Do I have to generate an octree every time I want to view the dataset?
No. Once you have generated the octree, you can instantly open datasets of any size. - How can I speed up the octree generation process?
Please follow our tips. - Do I have enough disk space to open point clouds?
Generating an octree temporarily creates auxiliary files. Please review our tips. - How does NUBIGON handle large coordinates?
It is a common issue that GPUs produce artifacts when working with large coordinates. Therefore, stick with the default Offset type Origin when generating an octree.
Third-party-related topics
- When I open my point cloud, I see unusual patterns in the data. How can that be?
This is caused by opening a point cloud with large coordinates in its original coordinates (zero offset vector). To fix this, re-generate the octree with the default Offset type option Origin.
The patterns can also be caused by exporting point clouds from third-party software with a low precision setting. To fix this, re-export the point cloud with a higher precision (i.e., more decimals).
