CloudCompare forum

I have 1500 point clouds in time-series.

My goal is to compute cloud-to-cloud distances between each scene to produce multi-temporal 3D displacement measurements and calculate deformation rates.

Is there any way to batch process the computation of cloud-to-cloud distances? This would help me tremendously - manual GUI-based calculation is would be absurd for 1500 scenes.

Thanks

Indeed, you should use the command line mode:

Look at the '-C2C_DIST' option.

P.S. : use it with the '-SILENT' option first (in order to avoid clicking on "OK" 1500 times ;)
