Hi, I am trying to display the data collected by RGBDSlam as a .ply file on a separate program (web GUI by XB PointStream). The problem is that when this file is displayed on the GUI, it comes out very tiny and all the points look very close together. Is there a way to scale up the size of the point cloud data so that it displays correctly on XB PointStream?
If scaling is all you need, since the ply format is very simple, you could just write a script (e.g. in python) to rescale your cloud, by parsing in the ply and multiplying the coordinates by a factor.
Alternatively you could alter RGBDSLAM to do so. The ply file is written from src/graph_mgr_io.cpp line 430. You could just add the scalling factor in lines 460-462.
You're welcome. You may be using an older version, I've split the file recently.

Do you have a link to look at the cloud? Maybe you can use meshlab to modify the .ply file. (BTW: Correct tagging is crucial on this site)
I want to process the point cloud automatically, because I will be processing a lot of clouds. Does meshlab have a way to run a script or something to automatically resize a point cloud?
I don't know whether meshlab can do that.
