Dear VTKusers,
I'm using the "vtkIterativeClosestPointTransform" to register a point
cloud to a surface. As far as I understand, this algorithm involves
finding the closest point on a surface for each point in the point cloud.
I would like to know, if I can retrieve this information after the
iteration converges, i.e. for each point in the point cloud, I would
like to know the closest point on the surface?
Furthermore, I would like to compare the final mean point2surface
distance with the initial one. Is there a way to compute the initial one?
I deeply appreciate any pointers!
Steffen
