Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install octave-metch on Fedora 36.

What is octave-metch

Matlab/Octave-based mesh/volume registration toolbox. It provides straightforward functions to register point clouds (or surfaces) to a triangular/cubic surface mesh by calculating an optimal affine transformation (in terms of matrix A for scaling and rotation, and b for translation). It also allows one to project a point cloud onto the surface using surface norms and guarantee the conformity of the points to the surface. At this point, metch can only perform rigid-body registration in terms of a linear transformation.
