point cloud of the building

[hope-yao]

Hi Matterport3D team,

Thank you for releasing this great dataset! I'm wondering if there is a point cloud representation of the building available? Or are there any easy ways you suggest that I can do to convert the depth image/ mesh into (high quality) point clouds? Thanks!

A proper way to convert a mesh into point cloud representation is to use mesh_sampling (https://github.com/PointCloudLibrary/pcl/blob/master/tools/mesh_sampling.cpp), which will generate points uniformly from the faces of the mesh.
