# ProcrustesAlignmentFilter

VTKExamples/Cxx/PolyData/ProcrustesAlignmentFilter

### Description

This example aligns three objects (deformed spheres) using the Procrustes algorithm. The original shapes are shown on the left. The alignment using a rigid transform is shown in the middle, and the alignment using a similarity transform is shown on the right.
