[vtkusers] 3D Algorithms in VTK

[Skotheim, Oystein]

Hello. VTK has a set of algorithms for processing of 3D data, but as far as I know, most of them are related to processing of 3D meshes or volumetric 3D data. If you are interested in processing and analysis of 3D point clouds, I encourage you to take a look at the Point Cloud Library (PCL) - see http://pointclouds.org 

It contains a large amount of state of the art algorithms including [quote] filtering, feature estimation, surface reconstruction, registration, model fitting and segmentation.

As a side note, the visualization part of PCL is based on VTK.

Best regards,

Subject: [vtkusers] 3D Algorithms in VTK

Hi All,

I'm involving in image processing ( face recognition/computer vision ). I am using Opencv for implementing the 2D based algorithms. OpenCv has more than 2500 implemented algorithms.
Now i am working on 3d algorithms. Is there any package like opencv for 3d algorithms? Does VTK really help?
Thanks,
Mathew
