I have a point cloud of a terrain, and want to generate a surface mesh. Is this possible to do in Meshlab?
The point cloud is an xyz file that I generated from a raster file of a Digital Elevation Model. Each point in the point cloud is on an evenly spaced grid in the x and y axis, and at the desired elevation in the z-axis. There are around 1 million points.
I can open the xyz file in Meshlab and it looks correct, but I haven't figured out how to generate the surface mesh.
This question is similar or identical to Mesh from point clouds in Mehlab. However, the answer given to this question doesn't work for me.
