Abstract
An editing system may dynamically and intelligently determine which data points to remove, replace, and/or modify from a point cloud space so that more features, color information, and/or detail of the point cloud are preserved after decimation. The system may receive data points that are distributed in space, and may select one or more elements of the data points on which to base the decimation. For instance, the system may decimate a first subset of the data points by a first amount based on a first difference in values defined for the one or more elements of the first subset of data points, and may decimate a different second subset of the data points by a different second amount based on a second difference in values defined for the one or more elements of the second subset of data points.
