Merging Multiple Point Clouds

I am trying to create a full human body model in 3D. I have the point cloud data of the front side and back side. How can I merge them into one final human body model.

I tried pcmerge() but I did not obtain a good result using it. Can anyone offer any suggestion for the merging process?

Hi Tony,

You should either register the two point clouds, or stitch the sequence of them. You can know more about stiching and registering point clouds here.

This doesnt help (already tried it) because you have the front and back view totally different as you see in the image. therefore your registering must give you final human body front and back as 1 frame.

What results do pcmerge() give and what exactly are you trying to achieve?

Because pcmerge() should simply merge the both point clouds and display the resultant cloud.

I have 6 frames of the human body each one rotated 60 degrees. I am trying to create one 3D avatar from front and back. So used registericp and combined the frames till I obtained one frame for the front view and one for the back view as shown in the image above. I need to combine these 2 to obtain the full 3D point cloud containing the full human body model from front and back.
