3D Surface Registration Tool

The fixed surface can either be a .tri (3D Model) or .dep (Range Image) file. For the moveable surface a .tri, .dep or .vec (a pure point set), is allowed.

The different methods available for the Nearest Neighbour search are:

1. Surface Based Search
2. Range Image Search
3. Voxel Based Search

For the .vec file format, only the Surface Based Search is available. The Range Image Search is only available for the .dep file format. The correct method for these file formats is automatically chosen. For the .tri file format, both the Surface Based Search and Voxel Based Search are available. The correct method for this file format cannot be chosen automatically, hence the switch -rm. This defaults to the Surface Based Search.

Random sampling is not performed if the moveable is either a .vec or .dep file.
