2015.03.09

features

  • Update file format to 1.6. (see Potree File Format)
  • Removed hierarchy from cloud.js and store it in smaller chunks.
  • Node-files in ./data are now grouped into a directory hierarchy.
  • RGB, INTENSITY and CLASSIFICATION can be written to the binary format in any order and combination.
  • Added automatic web page generation with the --generate-page or -p parameter.
  • Added support for PTX. (Thanks to @chiccorusso)
  • Support for both, 1byte and 2byte colors in LAS or LAZ files.

bugfixes

  • Displaying correct number of written points

2014.12.30

features

  • Updated BINARY format to version 1.4. Coordinates are now stored as integers, rather than floats. Additionaly, a tightBoundingBox is also saved in the cloud.js file. The normal boundingBox specifies the cubic octree bounds whereas the tightBoundingBox specifies the extent of the actual data.

2014.12.17

features

  • Instead of specifying -s arg, spacing can now also be calculated from the diagonal by specifying -d arg. spacing = diagonal / arg. This has the advantage that it scales automatically with the extent of the point cloud. (Thanks to @chiccorusso)
  • The default value for the spacing has been changed from -s 1 to -d 250, i.e. spacing = diagonal / 250. This seems to work fine for small, as well as large point clouds.
  • Added --scale arg parameter. This parameter specifies the precision of point coordinates (currently only for LAS and LAZ output formats). Previously, this was fixed to 0.01 which gives centimeter precision for point clouds with metric coordinate units. (Thanks to @chiccorusso)
  • Added classification, point source ID and return number to LAS and LAZ output.

bugfixes

  • Fixed adaptive point sizes. Sometimes, the point size calculation close to the border of 2 nodes failed. This was because the bounding box was written to the cloud.js in low precision.
