Boundary
Brief
Use a regular hexagon to extract the boundary of a point cloud data. According to the Edge, determine the height of each regular hexagon, and draw each hexagon based on the bounding box of the point cloud data. If the number of points within a hexagon is greater than or equal to the user-defined Density value, this hexagon will be kept and merged with its connected hexagons. The ultimate output file is the final border vector file.
Usage
Click Data Management > Point Cloud Tools > Boundary
Settings
- Input Data: The input file can be a single point cloud data file or multiple data files. File Format: *.LiData.
- Edge (default value is "10"): The height of the hexagon, which is used to set the size of drowning a hexagon.
- Density (default value is "1"): The thresholding number of points in a hexagon, below which no hexagon will be drawn.
- Output path: Path of the output file. A new boundary vector file will be generated after the algorithm is executed. File format: *.shp.
