About the Pipeline

Point clouds represent XYZ Cartesian coordinates, defined within a geometry file such as a .ply, inside a 3D space.

You can run the Sydney Water Pipe demo in the virtual machine.

 

 

 

 

How to modify this pipeline to load your data

1

Export your XYZ coordinate data to a .ply file and transfer it into the DAVM.

2

Using Dolphin or a linux shell, navigate to /local/examples/pipe and copy your file into this location.

3

Use a text editor such as kwrite to edit the loadPipe.py script.

4

Find and update the modelPath variable to reference the location of your .ply file:

modelPath = "/local/examples/pipe/squarePipeSclieA.002"

You can do this by duplicating the existing line of code, updating the copy and commenting out the original using a ‘#’.
