I have a ply file with sample geometry and I want to apply ball pivoting algorythm to it. I took two versions of vcglib:
1. vcglib that comes with MeshLab v 1.3.2 (http://sourceforge.net/projects/meshlab/files/meshlab/MeshLab%20v1.3.2/MeshLabSrc_AllInc_v132.tgz/download)
2. vcglib from SVN
What I found is that these 2 versions give different results on the same file, the version that comes with MeshLab constructs 670 faces for 725 points:
Output mesh vn:725 fn:670
Created in :60000 msec (0+60000)
The version from SVN constructs 1378 faces for the same 725 points.
Output mesh vn:725 fn:1378
Created in :30000 msec (0+30000)
The ball radius is the same in both cases, and MeshLab version is more correct. The geometry file is attached.
