Point Cloud Alignment

Point cloud alignment is the process of matching and combining three-dimensional data sets—called point clouds—so they fit together accurately. These point clouds are collections of millions of points that represent objects or environments captured by 3D scanning devices. Alignment involves adjusting their positions, orientations, and scales to ensure they line up correctly, enabling a complete and precise 3D model. This is essential in fields like manufacturing, architecture, and virtual reality, where accurate spatial representation is critical for analysis, design, or visualization.
