CloudCompare forum

If you really want the shape to change, then it's non rigid registration, and that's not supported by CloudCompare. Ah ok, thanks for letting me know. I've got MATLAB and I'm currently investigating some user-made non rigid registration algorithms - does anyone know of specific ones to recommend?

How do you expect the "shape" to change? For what I understood, you could try to mesh the "mathematical" cloud (so as to avoid issues with holes / missing parts) and then align (with ICP) the other cloud with this mesh. You can even ask it to change the scale so as to fit the ma...

Hello CC community, I hope that you can help me with this query. I have two sets of cloud points that I am trying to wrangle with, both of which have the shape of a part of an elliptic parabolid. The first is from an experiment performed recently, which has a specific order and number of tracking po...
