Contour Lines are an incredibly strong way of measuring both elevation and landforms when mapping, surveying, and geospatial analysis. Whether you use topographic maps , drone-generated models of terrain, or GIS software, having a solid understanding of contour lines is something that must be in your tool belt to accurately interpret elevation and landforms. Contour Line What’s a Contour Line? Contour lines on a map represent a fictitious line representing points of equal e

Within the field of 3D modeling, point clouds are now considered a core source of information for producing extremely detailed models. Generated from 3D scanning techniques using devices such as LiDAR scanners or photogrammetry software, a point cloud represents objects as a grouping of discrete points in space. Every 3D mesh is created from discrete points, so a 3D mesh can be created from a point cloud for most purposes in engineering, animation, or manufacturing. The poi
