Indeed, the manually applied transformation is not output in the console (but we could easily do that). Then simplify the way you can get the matrix from the console (you can already copy a single line, can't you?) And eventually let you rotate any cloud with any matrix (entered in text format just ...

Indeed, it would be nice to "open up" CC to such an interesting library. I guess we should be able to create rather easily "converters" to automatically convert a ccPointCloud to a PCL one (and vice versa, even if it might be incomplete in this way). However, CC is not just a GUI...

Hi, CloudCompare is mainly meant to be used with clouds, the mesh part in general and more especially the meshing algorithms are not very powerfull. In CCLib, the only meshing algorithms available are 2D Delaunay triangulation (either in one default plane (XY,XZ or YZ) or in the least square best-fi...

Thanks for you interest in CC. Indeed, CC can compute distances between a point cloud and a mesh directly. So you can either compare your mesh nodes to the other mesh, or alternatively sample points on one mesh (with a very high density) and compare the resulting cloud with the other mesh. There's a...

Dear Daniel, yes it is Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit. Running on XP it works. On the old XP machine it is also really fast and the results look logical. However, about the workflow: What are the necessary steps to achieve good results? How can I display the legend like in the example of eliscio on the...

Ok, the issue has been fixed with the last released version (v2.3_01_18_2012 - see download page).

It was due to the fact that the progress bar was not thread-safe.

Thanks for the feedback.

Hi, what is the Windows version you are working with (Xp or 7, 32 or 64 bits ? + maybe the amount of available memory). And maybe you can send me your dataset and I'll try it on my side (it's generally the best way to find bugs). Also, have you tried an older version of CC (there's always one at the...

Interesting. The associated vrml file contains a set of viewpoints (see http://www.lighthouse3d.com/vrml/tutorial/index.shtml?view ). Example: DEF photo1.jpg Viewpoint { fieldOfView 0.621379 position -10.5418 -15.6091 5.95961 description blabla orientation 0.70724 -0.37292 -0.600618 3.74252 } All the...

Good question! Here is the (almost compliant) APA style citation: CloudCompare (version 2.X) [GPL software]. (YYYY). Retrieved from http://www.cloudcompare.org/ (where X is the sub-version number and YYYY the current year) Edit (2016/1/07) I removed EDF R&D and Telecom ParisTech from the citatio...
