Hi 1. Haussdorff distance as computed by CloudCompare is simply the distance from each point to its nearest point/triangle in the other entity.So in the general case, it is absolutely not a vertical distance, but in your case it could be equivalent to a vertical distance if and only if the plane is ...

Hum, afaik I would say that it's standard "library usage" as you don't modify the library and you still have to "link" it. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Lesser_General_Public_License#LGPL_regarding_class_inheritance The LGPL contains no special provisions for inheritance, ...

Oh, I may not have been very clear but the official CloudCompare release has always been able to import/export LAS files.

With the new CMake version, integration of LibLAS is still optional but you only need to set a few paths to Boost and LibLAS if you want to enable it (see the wiki).

[*]a "work that uses the Library" = you use the library as is, calling its methods and linking your project to it [*]a "derivative work of the Library" = you have modified the library and you use this new version (which is therefore a "fork" from the initial project) [*...

The last online version (Ver 2.4 04/01/2012) implements this solution.

Well, I'm far from being a Linux guru myself, but I realized that the .so files (roughly the equivalent of DLLs on Windows) must be placed at very specific locations on Linux (see http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Program-Library-HOWTO/shared-libraries.html for instance). By default, all the .so files should go...

Hi, thanks for your interest in CloudCompare. However, CloudCompare is not meant (yet ?) for image/cloud registration. The ICM feature is just a way to load already registered images with a point cloud (mainly for display purposes). There's also an equivalent bridge to load results from Bundler SFM ...

Hi, It seems that the current configuration you are trying to compile with is not supported. Maybe it comes from 32/64 bits incompatibility, or the Code::Blocks project file is rotten: you should check that the project properties are correct (for instance, right click on the qCC project in the solut...

Hi, In general you can't use the MainWindow methods directly. qCC is not a proper library and plugins shouldn't interact directly with its database or GUI (we do this in qHPR for convenience - and by pure laziness - but it's very dirty and dangerous ;). You should better copy the code that makes wha...

No, but we could at least automatically output a transformation matrix that would do the trick in the console. Then you'll just have to copy and paste it in the new 'apply transformation' tool.

Would it be useful?
