Laser Scan point cloud data

Is there a way your software can create a quadrangular mesh on an existing point cloud? We have a client who is looking for such a mesh to bring into their finite element analysis software Thanks Chris Chris Tarzia Project Surveyor-3D Laser Scanning Direct: 212.479.5592 Mobile: 201.543.4142 LANGAN Phone: 212.479.5400 Fax: 212.479.5444 21 Penn Plaza 360 West 31st Street, 8th Floor New York, NY 10001-2727 www.langan.com <http://www.langan.com/> NEW YORK NEW JERSEY CONNECTICUT PENNSYLVANIA VIRGINIA FLORIDA CALIFORNIA ABU DHABI ATHENS DOHA DUBAI ISTANBUL Langan's goal is to be SAFE (Stay Accident Free Everyday) Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail Electronic communication provided by "Langan" encompasses "Langan Engineering, Environmental, Surveying and Landscape Architecture, D.P.C.," "Langan Engineering and Environmental Services, Inc.," "Langan International LLC," "Treadwell & Rollo, a Langan Company," and "Langan Engineering and Environmental Services, Inc., PC."

Hi, we don't have free code to create quadrangular meshes from point cloud data. But in the staging branch is a plugin for creating triangular meshes from point clouds. It's based on the code of Michael Kazhdan and Matthew Bolitho (2006). You can get the automatic build from this branch at: http://openflipper.org/Daily-Builds/Windows/Staging/ http://openflipper.org/Daily-Builds/Mac/Staging/ Additionally we have closed source implementations for converting triangular meshes into quad meshes. http://www.graphics.rwth-aachen.de/media/papers/bommes_zimmer_2009_siggraph_... It should be possible to construct a pipeline from points to quad meshes based on that. Best, Jan Möbius On 16.07.2013 14:49, Chris Tarzia wrote:
