POINT CLOUD DATA HIERARCHY

摘要

One embodiment is directed to a method for presenting views of a very large point data set, comprising: storing data on a storage system that is representative of a point cloud comprising a very large number of associated points; automatically and deterministically organizing the data into an octree hierarchy of data sectors, each of which is representative of one or more of the points at a given octree mesh resolution; receiving a command from a user of a user interface to present an image based at least in part upon a selected viewing perspective origin and vector; and assembling the image based at least in part upon the selected origin and vector, the image comprising a plurality of data sectors pulled from the octree hierarchy.

1. A method for presenting views of a very large point data set, comprising:
a. storing data on a storage system that is representative of a point cloud comprising a very large number of associated points; b. automatically and deterministically organizing the data into an octree hierarchy of data sectors, each of which is representative of one or more of the points at a given octree mesh resolution; c. receiving a command from a user of a user interface to present an image based at least in part upon a selected viewing perspective origin and vector; and d. assembling the image based at least in part upon the selected origin and vector, the image comprising a plurality of data sectors pulled from the octree hierarchy.
