Hi,
I want to apply pcregistericp to two point clouds. I know that in theory, ICP works with scaling, rotating and displacement matrices. My question is, how I can force the scale matrix to identity? My objects' size should not change.
PS. I read the pcregistericp m file and it seems it already sets the scale matrix to one. If I am right (?), it is good for my current application. However, why it should be like that when we have scaling in the original icp algorithm?
Thanks.

The pcregistericp function only estimates a rigid transformation (rotation and translation only, no scale). That means the incoming point clouds are expected to correspond to the same scale. There are variants of ICP like SICP that also estimate scale but pcregistericp function implements the algorithm from the following papers as mentioned in its documentation.

No. Currently, MATLAB does not support ICP with scaling. Do you have any usecase where this is required?
