Using fieldtrip functions for 3DScanner #738

Closed chinmaychinara91 closed 2 months ago

chinmaychinara91 commented 2 months ago

For importing an OBJ into brainstorm:

  1. The in_tess_wftobj function in actually a slightly modified submodule of https://www.fieldtriptoolbox.org/reference/fileio/ft_read_headshape. Should we use the fieldtrip function directly or since the license allows us, just continue to do it as it is right now (and just put a reference to the fieldtrip function).
  2. We also use the https://www.fieldtriptoolbox.org/reference/forward/ft_convert_units function to determine the units of the vertices based on the shape of the head. This is a good function to have.

Both these functions are available as part of spm12 plugin (/external/fieldtrip) and also the fieldtrip plugin. How do we go about this ?

Are not these topics part of the open PR #716?

If so, please close this issue, and add the question in the PR conversation to have all the information in one place instead of having spread across PRs and Issues.
