ICP Parameters and Logs

[Magician]

Hi all,

I'm using CloudCompare 2.6.1 on 64bit Windows 7.
I have some questions about Fine Registration(ICP) Tool.

a) Is there a way to set maximum iteration numbers? (for termination)
b) Is there a way to get log files on command line mode? (ex. RMS values, final iteration numbers)

For the first one, you should learn the 'dispel magic' spell to reveal the hidden documentation: http://www.cloudcompare.org/doc/wiki/in ... ?title=ICP (see the 'Number of iteration' field ;)

For the second question, the latest beta release (http://www.cloudcompare.org/release/Clo ... in_x64.zip) has a new option:

Code: Select all

CloudCompare -LOG_FILE [filename]

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for your reply.

About the first issue, my message is not enough.
I'd like to set both 'Number of iterations' and 'RMS difference'.
If 'Number of iterations' is set, 'RMS difference' is ignored in the latest CC.

And now I'm trying CC 2.6.2 Beta.
The '-LOG_FILE' option works, but there are some problems.

b-1) When '-SILENT' option is active, no log is exported. (for batch processing, the '-SILENT' option is necessary)
b-2) There are some informations about each pointcloud and elapsed time, but not final iteration numbers.

Is there another trick?

Yes, currently CC simply logs what is displayed in the (command line) console. So you have to be in non silent mode. We'll fix this before the official release.

And for the other point, nope, you have to chose one of the option.

Hi Daniel,

OK, I see.
I'm looking forward to the next release.

The 'silent' log is now enabled. See the updated beta version:
