Not sure to understand: by heat map, do you mean the color ramp used to represent the distance values? If yes, the steps/distances for the various colors should probably be based on their clinical significance, shouldn't they? And if you are concerned by the accuracy of the result, then you should p...

Maybe with a Python script (via the internal Python Wrapper or CloudCompy).

Nope, the limiting factor here is probably the GPU memory.

Yes, use the 'Display > Camera settings' menu (or the 'camera' icon of the left tool bar)

Hello, By pipeline, do you have a context in mind? C++ project? Python? If C++, then you just need to use the CCCoreLib library, and use the ICPRegistrationTools class. You can look at how it's used by CloudCompare here: https://github.com/CloudCompare/CloudCompare/blob/master/qCC/ccRegistrationTool...

Yes indeed. But it's true that this was done for the GUI version. It's less useful for the command line version (even if you may want to let the other applications breath a little).

Hopefully it's not that much slower....

In this case, can you uncheck the option 'Try to load clouds on GPU for faster display' (in the 'Display > Display settings' dialog) to see if it helps?

The issue with a mesh is that the triangles on the border or the unrolled entity will be stretched to meet both ends...

You'll get a nicer result if you sample a lot of points on the mesh first (with 'Edit > Mesh > Sample points'), and then unroll this dense cloud.

It's very likely that the standard version of CC on Linux doesn't support space mice. Someone would need to take that in charge...

Nope. Just call it in a terminal (CloudCompare -O myfile.bin ...)
