Visualization modes, display settings, and performance

Visualization settings are found in the Display options menu. These control how point clouds are rendered in LumiDB—including color mode, point size, and level of detail.

Color mode

Choose how points are colored:

• RGB: Uses the dataset’s original color values

• Classification: Colors points based on class (e.g., ground, buildings, vegetation)

• Intensity: Based on the sensor’s return intensity

• Point source ID: Highlights points by scan line

• File: Colors points based on the original file

• Dataset: Colors points by dataset when multiple are visible

• Extra data / Picking: Internal modes not required for normal use

Point size

Controls how large individual points appear. Larger points help interpret sparse data; smaller points preserve detail in dense datasets.

Level of detail

Adjusts rendering quality, performance, and memory usage:

• Low: Optimized for speed and minimal memory

• Medium: Balanced for most use cases

• High: Full resolution with higher GPU and memory demands

Choose a setting that fits your hardware and analysis needs.
