When I say aligning to the centroid, it means that during aligning A and B to standard coordinate, maybe the centroid of either A or B can be utilized to give the center of gravity for alignment. Hope Im making myself clear.

Actually A and B represents points on a surface of medical structure. Capturing the medical structure at different time wil not provide an aligned point set representastion. I have checked this, and the structure A and B are not aligned at the same axis. thts why I need to aligned them to a common axis/center of gravity so tht further processing can be done.
