Convert a .txt pointcloud to .ply

[desmond13]

I am completely new to cloudcompare and I was wondering if it is possible to convert a pointcloud saved in .txt to a .ply through cloudcompare.

The .txt looks like this

Code: Select all

pointcloud_width pointcloud_height
point1_x point1_y point1_z point1_intensity
point2_x point2_y point2_z point2_intensity
...
pointN_x pointN_y pointN_z pointN_intensity

Thanks for your help

Hi,

This looks like an almost 'standard' ASCII/text file. You should be able to load it (selecting the right file type filter if CC is not able to deduce that from the extension). And then export the resulting cloud to .ply.
