Intensity clip and scaling

Post by max72 »

I have some pointclouds with an intensity distribution relegated to a small range, with the exception of some points.
I could filter by intensity, but this way I would loose a small amount of points, not a big issue, but loosing data makes me nervous...
I have not access to the original data, or the tools it has been exported with.
Is there a way to "clip" all the intensities above a certain value (possibly from command line)?

Thanks in advance,
Massimo

There's no such option in CloudCompare... But it would be quite easy to do this with a (e.g. Python) script if you have a text/ASCII file?

Thanks,
I was considering to use a script with it too.
The cloud is in las or e57 format, so it requires an extra step, but it's not an issue. Fortunately the clouds are small.

Thanks again,
Massimo
