Voxel Point Cloud

ThisA Voxel Point Cloud entity convertstransforms a seriescollection of spherical point cloud capturescaptures—often from mobile or static LiDAR devices—into a singleunified, volumetric voxel model. This format is ideal for analyzing spatial density and structure within 3D environments.
