Plugin Contribution - Tree Segmentation Using Graph Theory

Post by gimmetank »

Dear CloudCompare Open Project Developers,

I have developed a plugin that separates individual trees from high-resolution point clouds using graph theory, specifically the cut-pursuit algorithm. The plugin runs smoothly on my PC after compilation and also supports command line mode.

The biggest required libraries for this plugin are Boost and Eigen. To reduce the size, I have filtered the Boost header files, resulting in a total plugin size of approximately 30MB. I am eager to distribute this plugin, which is currently for lab-use only, to a wider user base in a future release of CloudCompare.

I believe this plugin could add versatility to the CloudCompare community, particularly as segmentation tools are not yet widely available. I would appreciate your guidance on the best way to share the files with you.

Looking forward to your response.

Hello, is it possible to make a post or a video for the installation of the plugin, in fact I am a novice and I cannot find how to include this plugin in Cloudcompare on Windows. Thank you for your help.

Well, that should pretty straightforward, as you just need to use the right installer: the latest 2.13.beta installer for Windows.

The plugin is part of it.

I hadn't noticed that there was a new version and that it includes the plugin, it's excellent, and thank you for your quick response.
