  • Patent number: 10162471
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a tool dynamically highlights (e.g., re-colors) portions (e.g., points) of a 3-D representation (e.g., point cloud) based on their location relative to a cursor controlled by the user. A virtual region (e.g., virtual cylinder) is associated with the location of the cursor, and is moved in response to cursor movements. As the user moves the cursor on the display screen, the virtual region is moved in 3-D space. The virtual region may have a user-selected size and a user-selected orientation in 3-D space. Portions (e.g., points) of the 3-D representation (e.g., point cloud) that fall within the virtual region are highlighted (e.g., re-colored). Portions of the representation outside of the virtual region may remain unchanged. As the virtual region is moved in 3-D space, the highlighted portions (e.g., points) are dynamically changed.
