I changed the scanner from using the vtkOBBTree to using John Biddiscombe's
new vtkModifiedBSPTree (
http://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkModifiedBSPTree.html). The speed
improvement is amazing! The scans are now 40-60x faster!!

The new code is here:
http://www.rpi.edu/~doriad/VTK_List/vtkLidarScanner.zip<http://www.rpi.edu/%7Edoriad/VTK_List/vtkLidarScanner.zip>

Is there a vtk sandbox or something that I can work in instead of mailing
the file to the list each update? Do I need to email the devel list to get
access/code reviews/ etc?

@David Pont - please let me know if your group tries it out / has any
problems or questions

Thanks,

David
