METHOD FOR CREATING POINT CLOUD REPRESENTATIONS

A method for creating point cloud representations for a point cloud generated based on images, wherein the method comprises receiving a point cloud generated based on images, retrieving, from a user, selection criterion information, wherein the selection criterion information is related to the quality information comprised by the points of the point cloud, and filtering the generated point cloud and creating a filtered-point-cloud representation to be displayed while leaving volume and substance of the generated point cloud unchanged, wherein for each point of the point cloud its quality information is compared with the retrieved selection criterion information and only those points of the point cloud are used for the creation of the filtered-point-cloud representation to be displayed, which have a quality information fulfilling the retrieved selection criterion information, and displaying the filtered-point-cloud representation to the user.
