There is also another useful blog introducing how to remeshing point cloud using MeshLab.
- Import the pointcloud file in ".ply" file format in Meshlab. Before importing make sure you do some pre-processing / cleaning on point cloud so as to ease the process of meshing.
- Next we need to reduce the number of point samples for smooth meshing.
- So go to Filters -> Point Set -> Point Cloud Simplification. Enter Number of samples circa 5% of original number of points. Make sure Best Sample Heuristic is checked.
