The point cloud is generated through the analysis of matched images, and will choose pixels that eventually become the 3D point cloud. The DTM, DSM, and other assets are based on this data. Point clouds generated from Pix4D can be used in other third-party platforms and are a very versatile data type for a wide variety of data extraction and visualization applications. We use point clouds all the time, from scanners, from drones, and all kinds of things at our company, and I find this data type very rich and interesting to do a lot of different things with.
