Closest Point on Mesh Query

A simple C++ implementation to find a closest point on a mesh to a given external point P, within a specified search radius R.

Requirements

• Ply IO
• Boost Minimalist Test Library

Building code

% make
% bin/ClosestPoint.out -h      #Displays help for running

Sample run

% bin/ClosestPoint.out data/happy.ply

The test cases read the query points from data/queryPoints.txt. Each line is a space separated value of the cordinates followed by the search radius value

Data used for testing

Ply file	Vertices	Faces
bunny.ply	35947	69451
hand.ply	327323	654666
happy.ply	543652	1087716
