Deviation and Surface Area per Face
Posted: Tue Jul 28, 2026 12:54 am
Hello,
I want to be able to calculate volume change between two time points of the same object. I have pre- and a post-recovery models that are already aligned. I would like to be able to find the deviation between pre-test (reference) and the post-recovery (target) models (i.e. color map). Then if possible, I want to find the surface area of each face AND the deviation of each face to calculate the volume. Attached is an image of point cloud data and triangular meshes. Is this possible in CloudCompare? If so, how would l do it? I can provide .obj files upon request.
