# ExtractPlane3D

The ExtractPlane3D function Functions are tools that are available in Spreadsheet for processing and analyzing acquisitions or other results. You can add functions to your Spreadsheet job to create tool chains and produce results for specific applications. is used to extract one or more planes from a point cloud A point cloud is a 3D structure that consists of the data points collected by a 3D vision system during acquisition. in a user defined region of interest (ROI). The orientation of the extracted planes is determined by the ROI. The tool has two modes for plane extraction:

- Fast mode, using all points to do a least squares fit. This mode extracts a single plane by Orthogonal Distance Regression.
- Robust mode, using random sample consensus (RANSAC).

The extracted planes are returned in an Planes3D structure.
