The table lists the algorithms for processing 3D data in the order in which they are intended to launch.

The classes, functions and methods are self-explanatory.

Algorithm	Function	Notes
Serial registration	createSerialRegistrationAlgorithm()	Conventional registration algorithm. Run it with SerialRegistrationType_Rough if no frames were registered during scanning.
Loop closure	createLoopClosureAlgorithm()	Optional registration algorithm that compensates for accumulated error during scanning. Skip it in most cases.
Auto-alignment	createAutoalignAlgorithm()	Assembles two or several scans
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()	Fast fusion may yield a model with holes
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()	Decreases the number of triangles in the mesh
Texture mapping	createTexturizationAlgorithm()	Maps texture on the model surface
