The table below shows the general pipeline for processing 3D data using the SDK. The classes, functions and methods are self-explanatory. The table lists the algorithms in the order in which they are intended to launch.

Algorithm	Function	Notes
Serial registration	createSerialRegistrationAlgorithm()	Conventional registration algorithm
Loop closure	createLoopClosureAlgorithm()	Optional registration algorithm that compensates for accumulated error when scanning
Global registration	createGlobalRegistrationAlgorithm()	All-encompassing complex frame optimization
Outlier removal	createOutliersRemovalAlgorithm()	Use either this algorithm or the small-object filter. Watch the order!
Fast fusion	createFastFusionAlgorithm()	Simple fast fusion
Fusion	createPoissonFusionAlgorithm()	Conventional fusion algorithm. Depending on the settings, it allows you to produce a watertight mesh and a precise, sharp model (mesh).
Small-object filter	createSmallObjectsFilterAlgorithm()	An alternative to outlier removal. Use either one.
Mesh simplification	createMeshSimplificationAlgorithm()	Decrease the number of triangles in the mesh
Texture mapping	createTexturizationAlgorithm()	Map texture on the model surface
