Abstract

A point cloud measuring system includes client computers (1), an application server (2) and a database (3). The client computers communicate with the application server, and enable uses to perform needed operations. The database stores data generated and used by the system. The application server includes: a point cloud fitting module (200) for fitting selected point clouds into an object; a coordinate system creating module (201) for creating a coordinate system; a measurement object creating module (202) for creating a measurement object according to particular objects selected by the user; a measuring module (203) for measuring the measurement object in the coordinate system; and a measurement data outputting module (204) for outputting measurement data on the measurement object, and determining whether the measurement data meet with design requirements by comparing the measurement data with corresponding design dimensions of the measurement object. A related method is also disclosed.
