Add ground filtering plugin (CSF) to the official repository of cloudcompare

Hello, we've developed a plugin that can be used to separates point clouds into ground and non-ground (filtering). This plugin is based on a new filtering algorithm that we proposed recently. Therefore, we would like to internationalize our algorithm by adding this plugin to the official repository of CloudCompare. We' would like to provide entire source code to CloudCompare. So, how do we do it?

Good news.
To add the plugin to the main repository, you can simply make a pull request on github. Otherwise I can do it for you, just tell me what you prefer (edit: you'll have to send me the source files for that).

Cloud you provide us a email address? We would like to send you our source code later by email. By the way, our email address is

Okay the plugin has been added to the github trunk:
https://github.com/cloudcompare/trunk/t ... ugins/qCSF
And I created the corresponding documentation on the wiki (partially extracted from your doc file):

Thanks again for the contribution!

Could you be more explicit?

Oh, you'll have to wait for the next beta version of CC :D. I'll try to upload one soon.

Interesting plug in, except that it regularly crashes. I guess it's a development version, so it's ok :)
kachlica, a modified version of CC with trhe plug in exists already, you can find it here:
ramm.bnu.edu.cn/program/CCwithCSF.zip
Have fun with it

Here is the beta version of CC with qCSF (you'll need 7zip to unzip the archive):
http://www.cloudcompare.org/release/Clo ... bin_x64.7z
I haven't made it crash yet. And it's seems pretty efficient to extract DTMs (after a few tests). It's just a bit slow (I wish I could understand all the code comments in Chinese ;).
