Engineers looking for a solution for processing and meshing point cloud data
About AWS Thinkbox Sequoia
AWS Thinkbox Sequoia is a standalone application for point cloud processing and meshing, compatible with Windows, Linux, and macOS operating systems. It accepts point cloud and mesh data in various industry-standard formats, converting point cloud data into a compact and fast-to-access intermediate cache format. Sequoia offers intelligent workflows to retain high-precision data efficiently, displaying all or a fraction of the point cloud data using adaptive view-dependent methods. Users can transform, cull, and modify point cloud data, generate meshes from point clouds, and optimize the produced meshes. The software supports projecting images onto points and meshes, generating mesh vertex colors, Ptex, or UV-based textures from point cloud colors and image projections. It exports resulting meshes to supported industry-standard mesh file formats and integrates with Thinkbox Deadline to perform point cloud data conversion, meshing, and export on network nodes.

CloudCompare
CloudCompare is an open source 3D point cloud and triangular mesh processing software. Originally developed for comparing dense 3D point clouds, it has evolved into a comprehensive tool for various 3D data processing tasks. The software offers functionalities such as projections, registration (e.g., ICP), distance computation between clouds or meshes, statistical analysis, segmentation, and geometric feature estimation. Users can handle multiple scalar fields per point cloud, apply algorithms like smoothing and gradient evaluation, and visualize data through dynamic color rendering. Interactive tools enable segmentation, rotation, translation, and measurement of 3D entities. CloudCompare supports numerous input/output formats and it is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux platforms. The software also features a plugin mechanism for extending its capabilities.

Sony 3D Creator
The 3D Creator is an app that allows you to scan objects in 3D. The latest version offers five different scan modes, selfie scan, face scan, head scan, food scan and freeform scan. The 3D Creator is preinstalled in the Xperia 1, Xperia XZ1, Xperia XZ1 Compact, Xperia XZ2, Xperia XZ2 Compact, Xperia XZ2 Premium, and Xperia XZ3. The Xperia XZ Premium receives the 3D Creator as part of the Android 8.0 (Oreo) update. The first part of the scanning process is the calibration. The camera takes images as you circulate slowly around the object and an algorithm looks for characteristics that stand out in the images. Based on the camera orientation and captured images a point cloud is created. The point cloud is quite rough and has no color. Based on the point cloud information a mesh is created. The mesh is, simply put, a group of 3D points called vertices. Using the points from the point cloud the algorithm sculpts the mesh allowing it to shape itself after the scanned object.
