Question

Minimum volume of a point cloud as a mesh


Hi there!

 

I have a point cloud representing a dense forest. I am trying to get the 3D convex hull of the point cloud (as a mesh). I have already tried PointCloudToPointCoercer (individual points) into HullAccumulator but the results are unexpected and do not contain the whole point cloud:

Using the Minimum Bounding Volume tool in ArcGIS Pro does the trick, but since the rest of my workflow is in FME, I would like to avoid this option. Is there an FME alternative to this tool?

 

Here is the result produced by Minimum Bounding Volume in ArcGIS Pro:

Hope someone with knowledge of 3D models in FME can help. Thank you!
