normalEstimation() and triangulate() use incompatible types?

[atduskgreg]

Hey,

I can't find a set of PointCloud types that work to use normalEstimation() to prepare for triangulate(). I'm trying to build out an example here that I was planning on contributing that demonstrates the different mesh options:

https://github.com/atduskgreg/of-pcl-example/blob/master/src/testApp.cpp

I've also started a discussion here on the OF forum: http://forum.openframeworks.cc/index.php/topic,5965.new.html

If I can figure this bit out, I'd like to help update ofxPCL to PCL 1.5/1.6 and build out wrappers for some of the new surface reconstruction APIs like poisson.

But I'm just confused about how to use the right PointCloud types to navigate between these functions.

Thanks!

Hello Greg,

I fixed the problem.

Currently, ofxPCL developing under "develop" branch.
https://github.com/satoruhiga/ofxPCL/tree/develop

but, I think PCL is too heavy to creative coding... it spent super long time in compile...
I do not think actively update ofxPCL

Hi Satoruhiga,

Thanks for your help! I think I'm close to compiling this off of the develop branch. In fact, the basic empty app (with just #include "ofxPCL.h" added to testApp.h) compiled and linked successfully, but then it crashes on launch with this error:

dyld: Library not loaded: libpcl_common.1.5.dylib
Referenced from: /Users/greg/Downloads/of_0071_osx_release/addons/ofxPCL/example-empty/bin/emptyExampleDebug.app/Contents/MacOS/./../../../data/pcl/libs/libpcl_features.dylib
Reason: image not found
(lldb)

Digging around, I found change_install_name.py in deps/libs/osx. I tried to alter that script to set the right base path for me:

install_name_base = '/Users/greg/Downloads/of_0071_osx_release/addons/ofxPCL/example-empty/bin/emptyExampleDebug.app/Contents/MacOS/./../../../data/pcl/libs/'

and then run it. It ran successfully (so far as I could tell). However that doesn't seem to have any effect on the app, which still crashes with the same error.

It seems like your script is renaming the dylib files to remove the version number but something in one of them wants to refer to a file with the version number in it? I even tried renmaing the dylib file, but then I just got the opposite error (that it was missing libpcl_common.dylib). What am I missing here?

Thanks!
