PointCloudLibrary/pcl
Point Cloud Library (PCL)
This project helps engineers, researchers, and developers process 2D/3D image data and raw point clouds. It takes in raw sensor data from LiDAR, depth cameras, or other 3D scanners, and provides tools to clean, filter, segment, align, and reconstruct objects from these points. The output can be used for tasks like object recognition, environmental mapping, or robot navigation.
10,917 stars. Actively maintained with 8 commits in the last 30 days.
Use this if you need to build applications that understand and interact with 3D spaces using data from depth sensors.
Not ideal if your primary need is general image processing that does not involve 3D spatial data.
