icp with unequal shape possible?

[Nikbert]

Dear Clay, Would it be possible to use the icp algorithm with two datasets, that have same dimension, but do not have the same shape? (I want to match 11 Points in 3D space to a point cloud.) I think I would have to change the "nearest_neighbor(src, dst):" function. But I m not sure, since I have not fully understood how the icp works.

best regards Niklas

Any progress with this? Is it necessary for point clouds to be of the same shape for ICP algorithm to work?
