About Super4PCS

The Super4PCS library is a set C++ libraries, standalone applications and plugins released under the terms of the APACHE V2 licence, which makes it free for commercial and research use.

It provides state of the art global registration techniques for 3d pointclouds. Still under active development, the library is currently improved by adding wrappers to existing software, and by stabilizing the API.

In a nutshell, it provides:

two core packages: algorithms and accelerators,
two convenience packages: io and utils,
several demonstrators:
- a command line application,
- wrappers to use the algorithms with the Point Cloud Library and CGAL (coming soon)
- a meshlab plugin
a test suite
