Mesh Generation vs Point Clouds
Developers should learn mesh generation when working in fields that require numerical simulations, such as engineering, physics, computer graphics, or medical imaging, as it is essential for converting real-world geometries into a format suitable for computational analysis meets developers should learn about point clouds when working on applications involving 3d reconstruction, autonomous vehicles, augmented reality, or geographic information systems (gis), as they provide raw spatial data for object detection, mapping, and simulation. Here's our take.
Mesh Generation
