erode point cloud

[foobarbecue]

There is an option in several of the Ames Stereo Pipeline tools called "erode" which allows you to remove points near the edges of a point cloud (with a distance parameter). This makes the most sense when your point cloud represents a terrain surface and the edges tend to have bad data.

I wasn't able to find a feature like this in cloudcompare. Am I missing it? If not, is there any interest in adding it?

Actually, never mind... these options in Ames Stereo Pipeline only work when you're converting a point cloud to a DEM, in which case it's much easier to determine what counts as the boundary. So not really an appropriate feature for CC I think.
