.SH DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the
.B CloudCompare
command.
.PP
\fBCloudCompare\fP is a 3D point cloud (and triangular mesh) processing software.
It has been originally designed to perform comparison between two 3D points
clouds (such as the ones obtained with a laser scanner) or between a point cloud
and a triangular mesh.
.br
It relies on a specific octree structure that enables great performances in
this particular function. It was also meant to deal with huge point clouds
(typically more than 10 millions points, and up to 120 millions with 2 GB
of memory)
