exporting cloud with distances
Posted: Tue Jun 25, 2024 7:35 pm
Hello,
I am having trouble understanding the output of the exported values of my point cloud. I know the first three values in each row are the x, y, and z coordinates of the point, and I assume the next three values are RGB values. However, the next three values, which I believe should be distance values, seem off to me. I thought they represented distances in the x, y, and z directions and that I could compute the direct distance using the Pythagorean theorem. But the values are so strange that I'm second-guessing myself (the first one always has the value 1, 2, 3, or 4, and the second and third ones are the same number).
The last three numbers are, to my understanding, normals.
I would really appreciate some clarification if I have understood anything correctly, and I hope my confusion hasn't been too bothersome.
Thank you in advance.
