To get rid of noise and outliers I imported my scan data to a cloud of points in matlab, after denoise I want to convert my cloud of points to a matrix consisting of point coordinates. In other words, I only need the Location data in the array of point cloud.

[points]=import_data(text);

pc_w_noise= pointCloud(points);

pc_denoised= pcdenoise(pc_w_noise);

Is there any function capable of doing it directly?

I'm not interested in creating a PLY or PCD file. I also tried readXYZ, it is not working!

Thank you
