i am working of the surface_matching example here: http://docs.opencv.org/trunk/d9/d25/group__surface__matching.html#gsc.tab=0
it loads two ply files in to a mat.
but i would like to read my own data in to the mat. what format would the data have to be so that it works just like the ply file?
i have a whole bunch of x,y,z points that i get back from a kinect. but i do not use the kinect through opencv but rather through openframeworks.cc
somewhere i read it needs to have the right col and row numbers?
thank you very much for any help.
