Actually, I was looking for at least 34 matching distances. (I was comparing distances, between points, not differences between coordinate values.) I am curious about how you picked 12 here, also. My implementation was looking for more than that because I was looking for the largest number of distances in common between any two scanners, and when I looked at all of the scanners, the distance commonalities I saw were 68 67 18 17 16 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 So I coded mine as requiring more than half of the largest visible value (which actually, I guess, wound up being 35). Testing it out, 6 (or, more than 5) works just as well. But I am curious how you decided on 12.
