PCfindNearestNeighbors

by Tim C. Lueth, SG-Lib Toolbox: SolidGeometry 5.6 - VL/Vertices/PC/Clouds
Introduced first in SolidGeometry 4.3, Creation date: 2018-10-08, Last change: 2025-09-14

returns for a pointcloud a list of direct neighbors, distances and areas

Description

Since the nearest neighbor search is time consuming, it makes sense to reduce the number of points to less than 10000.
uses findNearestNeighbors from class pointCLoud.

Syntax

[NIL,DIL,OA,AL,pc]=PCfindNearestNeighbors(pc,[ind,nr,al])

Input Parameter

pc: point cloud or vertex list
ind: indices' default is all
nr: number of neighbors; default is 3
al: minimal angle for triangles; default is zero

Output Parameter

NIL: Neighbor index list [n x nr] = Facet list for nr==3
DIL: Neighbor distance list [n x nr]
OA: point cloud
AL: Area list
pc: point cloud
