Plugin Coding Advice

[JasonHagon]

Hello,

I am looking for advice/recommendations for anyone who would be interested in helping us to create a plugin to aid in aligning a point cloud collected from a SLAM device to a laser scan. While the Align (point pairs picking) tool is excellent, we have found because our SLAM device drifts in scale during capture, we would benefit from a tool which allows us to divide the point cloud into voxels and apply a more localised transformation using definable areas.

Thanks,
Jason.

Interesting. What kind of advice are you looking for? Generally, I would say the best option is to start from an existing plugin that's not too far away from what you try to achieve? (for instance, do you need your own dedicated 3D view? A complex dialog? etc.)
