After the point cloud has been thinned, triangulation is computed to create a mesh which can be exported as a STL file and opened in a variety of 3D modeling software. 7 | 8 | OpenTopography blog post: [Notebook on creating a 3D mesh from lidar 9 | ](https://opentopography.org/blog/3d-mesh-lidar) 10 | 11 | Email: info@opentopography.org with any questions or comments. 12 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /LICENSE: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | BSD 3-Clause License 2 | 3 | Copyright (c) 2022, OpenTopography Facility 4 | All rights reserved. 5 | 6 | Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without 7 | modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions are met: 8 | 9 | 1.
