Detect points above each other

I would like to establish a QA script for photogrammetrically derived point clouds where a flag is thrown if there are double layers. I am trying to find a way to detect points on top of each other, or some other method of finding double layers of the same data.

Using the PointCloudCoercer you can create single points from the pointcloud.

Using the PointonPointOverlayer you can check if multiple points are on the same location ( testing if _overlaps > 1 in a Tester).

But this process might consume a lot of resources if the pointcloud is containing a lot of points (and it usually is)!
