Alternatives to Point Cloud Library
Point Cloud Library (PCL) is a free, open-source framework for processing 2D and 3D images and point clouds. Its algorithms cover filtering, feature estimation, surface reconstruction, registration, model fitting, and segmentation; the toolkit can also extract keypoints, compute descriptors, create surfaces, and visualize point clouds. Its code is divided into libraries that can be compiled separately, and it supports Android, Linux, macOS, and Windows. Installation depends…
