CloudCompare forum

Hi, I am trying to open UAV generated dense point cloud in CC but getting a lot of noise at the z-axis. If I use top and bottom-facing icons for my point cloud, it looks fine, but as I moved to the other directions, it scattered. I wonder if there is something wrong with what I am doing.

Well, there are 2 options: either the cloud is noisy, or you have kept the large coordinates (if any) which is generally a bad idea as OpenGL can't properly display them (hence it generally causes a noisy display).

Thank you, Daniel!
But still, I am not able to solve the problem. I wanted to share more insights for a better understanding. The first image is the top angle for the .las data, where the second is scattering; my concern is also about the zoom-in level. Can you suggest any document or video I can watch for this?

The scale of the cloud seems indeed very small... Where does it come from?

Would you be able to share it with me maybe? (admin [at] cloudcompare.org)

It came from the Drone with the Multispectral sensor dense point cloud.

I did share data with admin@cloudcomare.org; I hope you can address the query.

Thanks. I believe the issue is simply that the cloud has geographical coordinates (with X and Y being angles) and not cartesian coordinates (all the same units). CC doesn't manage this mix of very small angles values for X and Y, and large coordinates for Z (relatively).
