Avoid unnecessary data copy in ply reader #3

Closed aecins closed 6 years ago

aecins commented 7 years ago

Current implementation of readPointCloudFromPLYFile first reads pointcloud data to local variables, and then copies this data to to a PointCloud data structure. A better implementation would avoid this unnecessary data copy and would write directly to the PointCloud.

It seems there is no (straightforward) way of doing this without modifying tinyply itself :(
