Convert image to point cloud?

[cosmocompare]

Hi there! I would like to generate mathematical art using CloudCompare. Can I send in an image file, for example black and white, and generate a cloud heightmap, preferably with a floor plane so that a poisson algo can generate a mesh from it? Thanks!

No, sadly, images would be loaded as images (that won't appear in the 3D view anyway, nor be converted to a cloud).
