I would answer: both! In fact, the computation is done in "screen space", and we should give to the shader the actual bounding box of what's actually visible and not the whole bounding box (but of course, it's much harder to compute in real time). However, there are first approximations th...

This strategy has been implemented in the last version (28 June 2011). Proper restoration on save works only with all ASCII formats (asc, obj, etc.) and the LAS format (the other formats use 32 bits representations of coordinates for storage, so restoration is not possible).

Ho, there's still hope, but it will take some time!

It's already available in the Visual 2008 version. For this, you just have to download the sources, and launch the project with the 'start_visual.bat' file (XP) or 'start_visual_x64.bat' (Vista/Seven 64 bits) in the 'trunk\qCC\msvc\VC9' folder. You'll also need a Visual compatible version of Qt and ...

Oh! What a shame ...

I fixed this and the new version (22 June) is now online.

Thanks for the feedback,

Hello, in fact, the very first version of CloudCompare (the one you'll never see ;) was using kind of tricks(as well as handling per-cloud units) but it was very hard to maintain the global consistency after each modification of entities or to take that information during comparison, etc. (you have ...

Very good idea!

I think the easiest solution will be to put a file in the binary folder (or maybe on the wiki?). This will be done for the next version.

Indeed, you can do it in two ways: - remove noise by computing "roughness" on the point cloud and then keeping only the points with the lowest roughness - remove the isolated points or groups of points by computing the "connected components" (with a rather low octree leve) Howeve...

In fact, the offset between points and texture comes from the fact that libfreenect couldn't give me the internal Kinect calibration information at that time. So I used the 'standard' information that can be found on the web. I don't know if there is a better way to do this now.

Oh, Interesting! In fact, this plugin is still a "work in progress" (to tell the truth, I almost forget about it ;). So if it has ever been released in the official version, it was an error. Or did you simply get it from the sources? I never had the time to fully test it, and I was also wo...
