Abstract
Visualizing and interacting increasingly large and dense point clouds imposes the need for new methods with real-time results, where most common solutions imply a disadvantage greater than their benefit. Among the recent software and hardware advances in computer graphics and visualization, it is possible to take the concept of meshlet as a clustering of nearby points in space; this nature can bring a considerable improvement in the interaction process over the classical brute-force based algorithm, similar to common three-dimensional spatial structures. This work implements the point selection process over a meshlet-structured point cloud, assessing its performance against alternative methods and validating its correctness by visualizing the selection result on a graphical interface. By exploiting the meshlet instead of building additional spatial structures, the method's execution time can be optimized, as well as the use of the system's main memory.
