Detailed Description

A dense Cartesian 3D point cloud object.

A dense point cloud is an ordered set of 3D points, placed on a grid with a given width and height. The advantage of dense clouds is to have immediate neighbor information. The disadvantage is, that you cannot have arbitrary clouds (e.g. an affine transformation breaks the lattice view). Also each x-y-position can have only one corresponding z-height.

A dense point cloud has grid / neighbor information available and has a larger memory than a sparse point cloud (due to NaN values / holes).

Each dense point cloud can be converted to a sparse point cloud.

Member Function Documentation

◆ Crop()

DensePointCloudPtr Crop ( const Cuboid & clipBox ) const

inline

Creates a new point cloud which only consists of the points inside the clip box.

Parameters

[in] clipBox Cuboid defining the bounds for the points to be copied (min/max are inclusive).

Returns: The new point cloud.

Exceptions

Any	exception derived from std::exception including CvbException.

◆ FromComposite()

static DensePointCloudPtr FromComposite ( CompositePtr object )

inlinestatic

Creates a dense point cloud from a composite.

Parameters

[in] object A composite to share.

Returns: A dense point cloud pointer that shares resources with the composite.

Exceptions

Any	exception derived from std::exception including CvbException.

◆ FrustumCrop()

DensePointCloudPtr FrustumCrop	(	const Cuboid &	clipBox,
		Angle	theta,
		Angle	phi
	)		const

inline

Creates a new point cloud which only consists of the points inside the clipBox, where the orientation of the two boundary planes Z=Zmin and Z=Zmax can be modified by angles theta and phi.

For theta, phi = 0,0 the function will give the same result as Crop(). Angle theta tilts the two Z-boundary planes towards the (positive) Y-axis. Additionally, phi rotates the tilted Z-boundary planes around the Z-axis (for theta=0, phi will have no effect, because it is then just an inplane-rotation). The two Z-boundary planes will stay parallel, but no longer necessarily orthogonal to the lateral boundary planes. Note, that only the Z-boundaries are tilted and not the whole bounding box, i.e. X- and Y-boundaries will stay the same.

Parameters

[in]	clipBox	Cuboid defining the bounds for the points to be copied (min/max are inclusive).
[in]	theta	Tilt angle of the two Z-boundary planes Z=Zmin and Z=Zmax towards the positive Y-axis.
[in]	phi	Rotation angle of the tilted Z-boundary planes around the Z-axis. If Theta = 0, Phi will have no effect.

Returns: The new point cloud.

Exceptions

Any	exception derived from std::exception including CvbException.

◆ LatticeSize()

Cvb::Size2D< int > LatticeSize ( ) const

inline

Gets the number of x,y,z(,w) point rows and columns of the given dense PointCloud.

Returns: The size as number of columns and number of rows.

Exceptions

Any	exception derived from std::exception including CvbException.

Examples: Cvb/CppPointCloudCreateAndHandle.

◆ PlaneCrop() [1/2]

DensePointCloudPtr PlaneCrop	(	const Plane3D &	plane,
		const ValueRange< double > &	range,
		CropRange	cropRange
	)		const

inline

Creates a new point cloud where points within or outside a range parallel to given plane are cropped.

The plane is defined by the hessian normal form:

Points are cropped within or outside a range parallel to the given plane. The range is defined by range. Note, that Range.Max and Range.Min are applied along normal direction.

In order to define a range around the plane, maximum and minimum range have to be positive and negative respectively.

Cropped points are set non-confident. Lines and columns at the borders containing only non-confident points are removed. If the input does not contain a confidence plane, a confidence plane will be added to the cropped point cloud.

Parameters

[in]	plane	Points parallel to this plane will be cropped.
[in]	range	Points within or outside this range will be cropped.
[in]	cropRange	Indicates whether points should be cropped within or outside the range.

Returns: Cropped point cloud.

Exceptions

Any	exception derived from std::exception including CvbException.

◆ PlaneCrop() [2/2]

DensePointCloudPtr PlaneCrop	(	const Plane3D &	plane,
		double	threshold,
		CropDirection	cropBelowAbove = `CropDirection::Below`
	)		const

inline

Creates a new point cloud which only consists of the points below or above given plane.

The plane is defined by the hessian normal form:

Above plane means all points with z values greater than the plane are cropped. It makes no difference in which direction the given normal points. The normal is always converted, so that it points up (positive z value). Note, if Normal.Z equals 0, "below" and "above" is undefined and thus no cropping is done. Instead the input point cloud will be duplicated.

Note: Points beyond the plane are set non-confident. Lines and columns at the borders containing only non-confident points are removed. If the input does not contain a confidence plane, a confidence plane will be added to the cropped point cloud.

Parameters

[in]	plane	Points beyond this plane will be cropped.
[in]	threshold	Points below plane plus this value and points above plane minus this value are cropped respectively. This threshold should be set, if plane is calculated via FitPlane(). It ensures, that all points of plane plus noise are cropped. Therefore the threshold is added or substracted depending on whether it should be cropped above or below.
[in]	cropBelowAbove	Indicates if points should either be cropped below or above plane.

Returns: Cropped point cloud.

Exceptions

Any	exception derived from std::exception including CvbException.

◆ PointComponents()

DenseComponentsPointers3D< T > PointComponents ( ) const

inline

Get the point components from the given point cloud.

Returns: A typed struct with pointers to the cloud's components.

Exceptions

Any	exception derived from std::exception including CvbException.

◆ Shrink()

DensePointCloudPtr Shrink ( ) const

inline

Creates a new dense point cloud where lines and columns at the borders containing only non-confident points are removed.

Please ensure that your point cloud contains a confidence plane.

Returns: The shrinked point cloud.

Exceptions

Any	exception derived from std::exception including CvbException.

◆ ToSparsePointCloud()

CVB_BEGIN_INLINE_NS SparsePointCloudPtr ToSparsePointCloud ( ) const

inline

Creates a sparse point cloud from this dense point cloud with confidence plane.

Non-confident points will be removed and the confidence plane is not kept. The new sparse point cloud has the same planes as this dense point cloud (except confidence).

Returns: Converted sparse point cloud

◆ TryPointComponents()

bool TryPointComponents ( DenseComponentsPointers3D< T > & components ) const

inlinenoexcept

Tries to get the point components from the given point cloud.

This method does not throw if the point type does not match the point cloud type.

Parameters

[out] components The components pointers.

Returns: True if type matches the point cloud point type, false otherwise.

Exceptions

Does	not throw any exception.
