Breaklines vs Mesh

2023-02-072022-11-11 by administrator

Below we compare the difference between mesh and breaklines, and how the two can work together. What is the difference between Mesh and Breaklines? In general, meshes are created by decimation of the point cloud, followed by nearest-neighbor algorithms. The result is a Triangular Irregular Network (TIN) that retains the shape of the ground in … Read more

How Breakline Builder Makes Lidar Data Usable

2022-12-142022-09-03 by administrator

To create a DTM from a point cloud, it is typical to classify the data to ground and non-ground layers of points. For our program, a ground classified LAS or LAZ is a requirement. Once the points are classified, a user could move on to manual digitizing if they had to, or they could send … Read more

Breaklines vs Contour Lines
