Locate a camera position based on 3D points. Python might provide an easy way to go about this. I believe there is a lib through OpenCV that has the math already sorted out for Reverse Camera Projection. I envision a tool similar to the align clouds tool; only you would select 3D points on the cloud...

Understood, Yea, I really like the result of the smoothing operation and I am only using basic settings. The geometry that I am working with is pretty complex (crashed vehicle) so the calculation of the normals based on scanner position is preferred. It would be nice to know how the plugin computes ...

I'm working on a project and have developed a workflow for meshing laser scans. I believe I can get a better result if I use the PCL MSL smoothing to reduce the noise from overlapping scans however, when I perform the smoothing operation it seems to alter my previous normals estimation. 1 - Import r...
