Select point cloud by color

[eltama]

Hi all
It will be great to select every point cloud by specific color or selection with that color, like select - silmilar in Photoshop.
Have a nice day.

Hello Elmar,

If you are speaking about dense point cloud, then you can use Tools Menu -> Dense Cloud -> Select Points by Color option in the Model view mode.

Hello Alexey
I mean sparse point, but thanks for the tip, I always create mesh from depth map, is much better for my works.

Hello Elmar,

The following script example shows how to select the tie points according to the RGB color values and tolerance:

Code: [Select]

import Metashape, sys

doc = Metashape.app.document
chunk = doc.chunk #active chunk
point_cloud = chunk.point_cloud
points = point_cloud.points
tracks = point_cloud.tracks

r = 217 #int(sys.argv[1])
g = 175 #int(sys.argv[2])
b = 164 #int(sys.argv[3])
tolerance = 10 #int(sys.argv[4])

for point in points:
color = tracks[point.track_id].color
if ((abs(color[0] - r) < tolerance) or (abs(color[1] - g) < tolerance) or (abs(color[2] - b) < tolerance)):
point.selected = True
Metashape.app.update()
print("Selected.\n")
