simpleicp 1.0.1

Simple version of the Iterative Closest Point (ICP) algorithm

simpleICP

This package contains an implementation of a rather simple version of the Iterative Closest Point (ICP) algorithm.

Documentation

This python implementation is just one of several (almost identical) implementations of the ICP algorithm in various programming languages. They all share a common documentation here: https://github.com/pglira/simpleICP

Installation

You can install the simpleicp package from PyPI:

pip install simpleicp

How to use

import simpleicp
import numpy as np

# Read fixed and movable point cloud from xyz files into n-by-3 numpy arrays
X_fix = np.genfromtxt("dragon1.xyz")
X_mov = np.genfromtxt("dragon2.xyz")

# Run simpleICP!
H, X_mov_transformed = simpleicp.simpleicp(X_fix, X_mov)

Note: dragon1.xyz and dragon2.xyz are not included in this package. They can be downloaded (among other example files) here.
