Primer on Point Clouds
Point clouds have many uses. Simply putthey are a set of points in space. This allows 3D imaging of all manner of objectsincluding manufactured parts and the external environment. In this coursewe take a look at the general concept of point clouds.

Platforms for Processing
Processing of the raw data to convert it into accurate surface models and contours can be done using myriad different platforms. We will look at some of the platforms available and how our choice of technologies drives the selection of a platform. We will also consider the data storage issues for such large data setsincluding standard compression schemes.
