Hide or delete points by classes

[Lupus]

Hey community,

I've classified my dense cloud in Ground, Low points and Unclassified.
Is it possible to hide the Low points and Unclassified? Or is it possible to delete these points with one click?

[Alexey Pasumansky]

Hello Lupus,

At the moment it is not possible with only one click. You can perform the operation using Python API:

Code: [Select]

PhotoScan.app.document.chunk.dense_cloud.removePoints([1,2])The argument for the function should be an index of the class to be removed or the list of indices.

[Lupus]

Yes, that worked. 

How I can determine which index belongs to which class?
Can I display a legend in Photoscan?

Hello Lupus,

This should be the list of correspondence:

Code: [Select]

{'BridgeDeck': 17,
  'Building': 6,
  'Created': 0,
  'Ground': 2,
  'HighNoise': 18,
  'HighVegetation': 5,
  'LowPoint': 7,
  'LowVegetation': 3,
  'MediumVegetation': 4,
  'ModelKeyPoint': 8,
  'OverlapPoints': 12,
  'Rail': 10,
  'RoadSurface': 11,
  'TransmissionTower': 15,
  'Unclassified': 1,
  'Water': 9,
  'WireConductor': 14,
  'WireConnector': 16,
  'WireGuard': 13}
In the version 1.3 we've added enum representation to the dense cloud classes via PhotoScan.PointClass.

How can one turn back on a class for viewing after turning off?

[Alexey Pasumansky]

Hello Jeremiah,

The deleted dense cloud points can be restored using Restore Dense Cloud option from the Workspace pane context menu or Tools Menu. Just note that all the removed points will be restored. So if you wish some points to be deleted forever, use Compact Dense Cloud option beforehand.

Also we are working on Hide Point Class functionality for the next major update.

Thank you so much for your efforts to make an already great program even better!

Dear Alexey Pasumansky,
im using agisoft 1.3.1. I was just trying to delete " 'Unclassified': 1 ". im prett sure the index has changed, because it didnt work. Deleting all works though.
Sorry im quite new with agisoft.
Is there any way i can call/print the index of "PhotoScan.PointClass"?
Thanks you very much
Simon

Simon. If you are referring to the "above ground (white)" points that are a results of the automated ground classification, then the category you wish to remove is in fact 0. "Created (never classified)" is the above ground white points.
