How to calculate mean nearest neighbor distance in v2.13?

Post by hoya23 »

Hello. In CloudCompare v2.13, the 'Nearest Neighbor Distance' tool is no longer in the Tools > Distances menu. What is the new, correct way to calculate the mean nearest neighbor distance for a single point cloud?

Well, it has always been named 'Cloud to cloud' distance.

And then you can compute the average with https://www.cloudcompare.org/doc/wiki/i ... parameters

I think the user is asking about a tool like this one:
CloudCompare > Tools > Others > Geometric features > Density > Number of neighbors
