CloudCompare forum

hi danics, I see what the problem is. The cloudcompare representation of a point cloud is a simple list of points without any specific structure. In pcl they use two different reprensetation of point clouds. See here http://docs.pointclouds.org/trunk/classpcl_1_1_point_cloud.html A point cloud has t...

In fact I cannot get access to that dir, checking out: svn co https://fp6perfect.edf-labs.net/svn/CloudCompare/branches/qPCL_dev qPCL_dev I get: svn: OPTIONS di 'https://fp6perfect.edf-labs.net/svn/CloudCompare/branches/qPCL_dev': authorization failed: Could not authenticate to server: rejected Basi...

Maybe the branch is the best solution...
You could create a qPCL copy somewhere for me, so I can begin to remove unneeded files etc from trunk and adding the license to the headers.
I never worked with branches, so just the time to learn how to use them :-)

Thanks david

The plugin for reading / saving pcd files have been merged with CloudCompare trunk It is PCL-dependend so you need to have PCL installed on the system for the plugin to compile. I think there will be some things to clean and change so I have some questions for you: - Should I put a license into head...

Hi, I am working for implementing a fast point picking using dgmOctree... I implemented the ray/box checking algorithm, and I've been able to make it works for a given level of subdivision of the octree (giving back the code of the cell that the ray intersect at the given level) This is pretty fast ...

first problem solved :-) actually UpdateUI() do the trick, sorry...

I have some questions on how to accomplish some tasks from a CC plugin. My plugin creates a new toolbar with a set of functions taken from PCL (PointCloudLibrary). So, questions: 1. Some of the functions simply add a scalar field (or colors or normals). How can I then update the Properties view? I c...

Hello, LAS file is typically the example of what shouldn't be done in CC ;). It's quite a hassle to compile liblas (because of the boost dependency mainly) and we should definitely have opted for a purely plugin-based solution at that time (instead of putting it directly in the main CC executable a...

I managed to write my first plugin for cloudcompare, but here are some problems: - I am really not able to write a self-contained reader for PCD files (I am not a really skilled programmer so it would take me too long). I think there are two possibilities: (first) re-write all the IO classes from PC...

Indeed, it would be nice to "open up" CC to such an interesting library. And for the serious part: who wants to give it a try? (I can help for the converters and building an example plugin) I could help in writing a reader for pcd files. I think the easiest way to get this is to write the...
