Elevate your point cloud workflow with Pointorama’s classification tool 

In the dynamic world of surveying and construction, efficiency and precision are essential. Pointorama’s powerful tool, classification within point clouds, offers a game-changing solution to streamline your workflow and enhance your project outcomes.

What is the classification tool in point clouds?

The classification tool involves categorizing various elements within a point cloud to improve data management and facilitate more accurate analysis. This is particularly useful in complex projects where multiple objects and components need to be isolated, highlighted, or hidden for further processing.

Object recognition: the foundation of classification

Pointorama’s object detection or recognition tool is at the heart of our classification process. With this tool, users can quickly and accurately select objects within a point cloud. The intuitive interface allows you to:

  • Isolate: Isolate objects to analyze them individually, ensuring precise modifications and assessments.
  • Highlight: Emphasize specific objects within the model to make them stand out for better visibility.
  • Hide: Temporarily remove objects from view to reduce clutter and focus on other components.

Defining classes for better organization

When working with numerous objects in close proximity, managing them individually can become overwhelming. Pointorama’s classification tool addresses this by allowing you to define classes. A class groups objects with similar characteristics or functions, making it easier to manage and manipulate them as a collective.

Benefits of defining classes

  • Enhanced organization: Grouping similar objects together streamlines your workflow and keeps your project organized.
  • Efficient processing: Apply actions to an entire class rather than individual objects, saving time and reducing repetitive tasks.
  • Improved analysis: Analyze specific categories of objects more effectively, ensuring that no detail is overlooked.
  • Simplified collaboration: Share classified point clouds with stakeholders, providing a clearer understanding of the project layout and status.
