Point Clouds and Surface Modelling

Example showing how to remove point cloud points that fall within building footprints so that they do not participate in surface modeling when elevated over the real surface.

Offset Rotate and Scale Point Clouds

The goal of this scenario was to make sure that we can transform data from some standard coordinate system to a local coordinate system for some manipulations, such as scaling,rotation, and offse...

Writing Point Clouds

This article describes how to save point clouds as text files with a Point Cloud XYZ writer.

PointCloudCoercer

Decomposes all point clouds into points or multipoints (aggregates of points). This transformer is used when writing to formats that do not support point clouds.

Point Clouds and 3D Clipping

This article shows that despite lacking a specific 3DClipper transformer, FME 2011 is still capable of doing some simple 3D clipping.

PointCloudCombiner

A transformer to combine two or more geometries into a single point cloud.

PointCloudPropertyExtractor

Extracts the properties of a point cloud feature and exposes them as attributes. The attribute values are for reference only and may become out of date if the point cloud properties change.

Point Cloud Scenario 13. Point Cloud Creation

The article speaks about FME 2011 Point Cloud Scenario 13 - how FME can create point cloud geometries

Converting Point Cloud XYZ data to a DEM

Example of converting XYZ point cloud data to a Digital Elevation Model

Calculating Point Cloud Density

Sometimes, we may need to know how dense our point cloud is, that is, how many points we have per some area unit. This example shows how to calculate this with two key transofrmers and a few supp...

Coercing Point Clouds to Points

The article talks about point cloud coercion: how point cloud geometry can be transformed into multipoint or point geometries

Pointools Point Cloud POD Format

In order to read and write Pointools POD files, FME needs a valid license to a Pointools application.

Vertical Reprojection with Point Clouds

The article explains how point clouds are affected by vertical reprojection, which can be performed with the CsmapReprojector.

Colouring Point Clouds Using Orthophotos

The article shows how to make basic point cloud colorization with FME 2011. Proper point cloud colorization is planned for FME 2012.

Creating Point Clouds from 3D Models or Rasters

The article talks about making point clouds from other geometries such as 3D models or rasters

Point Clouds for Profiling and Slicing

This scenario shows how to use point cloud data and vector data to extract profile information

PointCloudSplitter

Splits a single point-cloud feature into multiple point cloud features, based on a selected component. Currently, FME supports splitting by Point Source ID or Flight Line, Return, and CLassificat...

Viewing and Inspecting Point Clouds

The article explains the basics of viewing and inspecting point clouds

Thinning and Combining Point Clouds

The scenario is about making point clouds covering large areas from multiple small point clouds. This is achieved through thinning (or decimation), that is, reducing the number of points, and com...
