Ah, so you are happy with some of the 'bubbles' :-D In this case, it's tricky... Because the only information we have is how far the triangles are from the closest points. What you could do is sample a lot of points on the raw mesh, segment the resulting cloud with the scissors tool, and eventually...

Based on the math equation above if those two points existed at 0.400002 and 0.400007 then the offset would be -0.000005. :)

So with Poisson, you generally need to filter the result based on the 'Density' scalar field (see the last section of https://www.cloudcompare.org/doc/wiki/index.php/Poisson_Surface_Reconstruction_(plugin) ). You can aslo play with the 'boundary' setting to change the behavior of Poisson where no p...

I'm computing the normal's for the mesh below using Triangulation setting. As well I'm using Poisson Surface Reconstruction although this is the results, why does the mesh look like it's a blob, are my Reconstruction settings too high or low ?

In more mathematical terms, if the 2 points are named P and Q :
dX = P.x - Q.x
dXY = sqrt((P.x - Q.x)^2 + (P.y - Q.y)^2)
distance = sqrt((P.x - Q.x)^2 + (P.y - Q.y)^2 + (P.z - Q.z)^2)

In the math sense if R.x = 0.400002 and Q.x = 0.400007 = -0.000005 based on dX = R.x - Q.x ?

Well, that's simply the shift between the points along the X, Y or Z dimension (left column) or in the XY, XZ and ZY planes (right column = 2D distances) If I understand correctly based on the screen capture, deltaX is the shift between the points, meanwhile deltaXY is the distance between the poin...

I'm trying to understand the distance between these two points. I understand the distance is 0.4 between points but the other values I do not understand ?

I was looking at Peel 3D by Creaform an impressive programs for 3D scanning data although expensive. Some features as found on the software main page is the ability to split off an object among other things that I can't completely describe available in Cloud Compare ?

I want to find the distance between points but in the tree the point cloud is disabled therefore how can I enable and select points on the mesh to find the distance ?
