CSF plugin

[daniel]

I guess this would be possible by changing the code a little. Therefore it's something that could be added to the TODO list indeed.

Hey Daniel,

Are there any updates for CSF as a command line tool?

I am a master's student looking at UAV point clouds under various forest densities and their respective ground model accuracy.
It would be nice to quickly test results the different parameters combinations.

If it is not super challenging to implement, I would like to give it a try though I would need some hints of where to start.

Or maybe it is under way already?

Cheers,
Alex

Hi Alex,

No, I don't think anyone tried to do this.

Basically you have to implement the 'registerCommands' method in the plugin main entry point (the qCSF class --> qCSF.h and qCSF.cpp). This method should return a 'ccCommandLineInterface::Command' object that will do the interpretation of the command line arguments, and then call the process.

To see how it works in a plugin, you can look at qCanupo. It should be pretty similar. And calling the CSF process is pretty easy as it's already in a separate class ('CSF').
