Compute distances of points relatively to reference point cloud

A point-cloud to point-cloud distance can be simply computed using the nearest neighbor distance. The issue is that the nearest neighbour is not necessarily the

PCL library setup using vcpkg seems to be missing include files (pcl/visualization in particular)

My goal is to visualize a point cloud using PCL. This is possible according to their official tutorial (link). In the tutorial there is an include path pointing

how to import all the points from a .pcd file into a 2d python array

How do you import all the 3d points from a file named edge_cloud.pcd and put them into an array? I want the array to be in the format array=[[xvalue1,yvalue1,

Rationale Behind PCL `shared_ptr` Interfaces

Many PCL interfaces accept only shared_ptr<T> arguments (e.g. boost::shared_ptr< PointCloud>). [Aside: that is it boost::shared_ptr and not std::sha

problems with computing normal for organized point cloud

Now I want using PCA method to compute normal for the organized point cloud transformed from the depth image.Here is what I do: pcl::NormalEstimation<pcl::P

Install PCL Library on Python/Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

How do you install PCL Library on Python/Ubuntu 18.04 LTS? I've tried different ways to do so, without luck. Trying to import pcl results in: ImportError:

How do you find multiple planes in a 3D pointcloud?

I am looking to find all the planes in a 3D pointcloud using PCL. The example snippet has a video showing two different planes detected: http://pointclouds.org

PCL problems in Ubuntu 20.04. how to get it running?

Make Error at CMakeLists.txt:12 (find_package): By not providing "FindPCL.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has asked CMake to find a package configu

pcl::PointCloud<pcl::PointXYZ> to pcl::PointCloud<pcl::PointXYZ>::Ptr (Covert poincloud to ptr)

I am using PCL 1.3. Is there any function to convert pointcloud to pointcloud::ptr. I am new at PCL libraries. I have a ROS node subscribing to sensor_msgs/Poin

PCL RANSAC model fitting: How can I initialise the model parameters?

I'm reading the PCL tutorial on plane segmentation, because I want to find 3D circles in a very large and dense point cloud I have. I know already the approxima
