Zippering together separate polygonal meshes

[Tim Hutton]

Just wondering if anybody had had a go at merging polygonal meshes using vtk. 

When meshes are acquired from range scanners (or whatever) you often need
to take different views to see all the way round an object. These views
generate meshes that need to be aligned and stitched together to create a
clean mesh for the object.

I don't think there's a way of doing this in vtk at the moment, correct me
if I'm wrong.

The thing is, I need to do this, would any of you be interested in the code
if I implemented it myself?

Cheers,

Tim.
