ros-perception/perception_pcl

PCL (Point Cloud Library) ROS interface stack

What it solves

It provides a bridge between the Point Cloud Library (PCL) and the Robot Operating System (ROS), allowing 3D applications to process n-D point clouds and 3D geometry within the ROS ecosystem.

How it works

It acts as an interface stack that enables ROS-based robotic systems to utilize the PCL library's geometry processing capabilities for handling 3D data.

Who it’s for

Developers building 3D perception systems for robots using ROS.

Highlights

  • Preferred bridge for 3D geometry processing in ROS
  • Support for n-D Point Clouds
