ABSTRACT:
An exemplary system for filtering point clouds is disclosed. The system includes at least one client computer (5), a point cloud collecting device (6) and an application server (7) configured between the client computer and the point cloud collecting device. The application server includes a converging module configured for converging a plurality of point clouds produced by scanning a physical object, simulating a digitalized figure based on the plurality of point clouds, and displaying the digitalized figure on a display of the client computer; a filtering module configured for filtering redundant points in the point clouds to obtain a merged point cloud without any redundant points; and a storing module configured for storing the merged point cloud in the application server. A related method is also disclosed.
