Export point clouds

[JoseSoto9305]

Hi, first, I would like to thank for this amazing app for the kinect.
Second, I have a little question, it's not a issue but I would like to know if there is a way to export 3D models to a .ply or xyz. format?? I've seen that it can export them to a .vrml file and a wavefrom objet to visualization toolkit, however, I've never worked with VTK and my skills to programming are very poor

Bye, in advances

There is a feature to display point cloud. OpenCV Viz module has function to save the point cloud to ply. Meshing is not supported. You're welcome to forward port Marching Cubes from old PCL kinfu.

The statement Meshing is not supported... does that mean that EXPORTING to specific formats not supported? or that this library isn't actually meshing from cloud.

Asking just make sure I understand what this library is achieving (vs PCL KinFu).

From reading around the repo and issues, it appears this lib has optimized the internal function of the core KinFu funcaitonality with respect to generating a single cloud model, but nothing with respect to the actual mesh reconstruction part? E.G. this isn't a replacement (end-to-end substitute for KinFu) but an optimization of a core functional step within what (PCL) KinFu does. Is that correct?

@Nerei i've implemented marching cubes to work with the code in your repo. would you be interested in reviewing a pull request?
