PointCloudStatisticsCalculator

Calculates statistics on point cloud components and adds the results as attributes.

Jump to Configuration

Typical Uses

  • Inspecting and analyzing point cloud features
  • Calculating statistics for use in further operations

How does it work?

The PointCloudStatisticsCalculator receives point cloud features and calculates selected statistics on each one individually. The results are output on each point cloud feature.

Available statistics include:

  • Minimum
  • Maximum
  • Mean
  • Sum
  • Range
  • Standard Deviation
  • Median
  • Mode

Statistics may be calculated for any or all point cloud components.

Statistics are stored as attributes, named <component>.<statisticname>, where <statisticname> will be one of the following: min, max, range, mean, stdev, sum, median, mode.

For example, if the median was calculated for component z, then an attribute named z.median would be added to the feature.

Examples

Usage Notes

  • To calculate point cloud statistics on a group of point clouds as a single entity, merge them prior to this transformer with the PointCloudCombiner transformer.

Choosing a Point Cloud Transformer

FME has a selection of transformers for working specifically with point cloud data.

For information on point cloud geometry and properties, see Point Clouds (IFMEPointCloud).
