Hello,

I have a point cloud for which I would like to extract the coordinates of the single point where the point cloud reach its maximum value.

I can use the pointCloudStatisticsCalculator to obtained the maximum value of x. Is there a way to obtain the corresponding ordinates (y) and altitude(z) values for that x without coercing the pointcloud?

Thanks

I don't think there is a super efficient way to do that, but this procedure could be better than coercing the entire point cloud.

  1. PointCloudSorter: Sort the points within the point cloud by x descending.
  2. PointCloudThinner: Thin the point cloud to just the first one point (i.e. the point with maximum x).
  3. PointCloudCoercer: Coerce the point cloud into a single point and preserve (x, y, z) as attributes.
