Actually, never mind... these options in Ames Stereo Pipeline only work when you're converting a point cloud to a DEM, in which case it's much easier to determine what counts as the boundary. So not really an appropriate feature for CC I think.

There is an option in several of the Ames Stereo Pipeline tools called "erode" which allows you to remove points near the edges of a point cloud (with a distance parameter). This makes the most sense when your point cloud represents a terrain surface and the edges tend to have bad data. I ...

Hooray, I got it to compile and run! I just had to make sure nothing was pointing to my Anaconda version of Qt stuff, and then I also had to deal with a C2666 error, but luckily someone had already solved it here:

By the way, I have Anaconda installed and in the PATH... I think that's where it's getting zlib.dll and libpng16.dll from. Also, CMake has put Anaconda paths in the config: Qt5Concurrent_DIR C:/Users/aaron/Anaconda3/Library/lib/cmake/Qt5Concurrent Qt5Core_DIR C:/Users/aaron/Anaconda3/Library/lib/cma...

I'm using Qt 5.12.1 . What version do you normally use? I noticed that if I run start.bat instead of CloudCompare.exe (which replaces PATH with only the install dir), I get a different result. Instead of "failed to start" I get" The code execution cannot proceed because libpng16.dll w...

I actually switched to Release build, and I was running the .exe from powershell, outside of visual studio.

I just managed to compile CC for the first time using MS Visual Studio 2017, following the instructions in BUILD.md . I ran the ALL_BUILD project and then the INSTALL project. However, when I run my generated CloudCompare.exe, I get a dialog saying: "The application failed to start because it c...

Hi, is anyone developing CC on Ubuntu? I'm currently using Kubuntu 14.10 and I've had good experiences using QTCreator and Eclipse for C / C++. Does anyone have a CloudCompare project file set up for these, or at least have experience using one or the other to develop for CloudCompare?

I'm also confused about the "full depth" parameter. The documentation for poissonrecon is unclear: "This integer specifies the depth beyond depth the octree will be adapted. At coarser depths, the octree will be complete, containing all 2^d x 2^d x 2^d nodes." My guess is that th...

Thanks, and great to see that that feature exists! Unfortunately I was doing the meshing outside of CC since I wanted to use the latest version of PoissonRecon. Any way to access the "import color" feature without using the internal implementation of PoissonRecon?
