'measuring the distance from a point to another in meshlab for slam kinect data

I'm going to use openslam to reconstruct my room. The reconstructed data will be save in PLY or PCD format and view by meshlab.

meshlab has a measuring tool for measuring the distance from one point to another.

My question is will the measuring tool give me the exact distance in unit for example cm or meter ?

Meshlab will give you the exact distance in units of the mesh. Therefore you have to make sure, that the SLAM-Algorithm you use produces a pointcloud in correct scale. As far as I know data from kinect is assigned the depth in millimeter. If your SLAM doesn't scale the pointcloud you should be able to measure that.
