XYZ to PCD
I have a dense (few million points) point cloud, and i have it stored in .xyz normal x normal y normal z format. I wish to convert this to .pcd file. I read that I can use the PCL plugin cloudcompare for the mentioned operation. However in my Cloud compare I dont have pcl plugin. I have attached a screenshot of that. I could not find the plugin as well. Kindly if some one can help? I need the .pcd files for my research purpose.

Re: XYZ to PCD
What version are you using?
On Windows you may have to use the 2.6.2 version (as the beta version is not always compiled with PCL).

Re: XYZ to PCD
Then you should use the latest 2.6.3 that was published by Romain Janvier recently (see the website).

Re: XYZ to PCD
I have installed 2.6.3 now, but I still dont have the PCL plugin. I have more plugins but not the one I want .

Re: XYZ to PCD
Hum, I must have missed something with the latest Linux integration... Then you'll have to compile CC yourself with PCL support (or use the Windows version ;).

Re: XYZ to PCD
Are there guidelines provided somewhere how to compile CC myself with PCL support? Sorry I am unaware of this process.
Re: XYZ to PCD
You have to follow these guidelines:
http://www.cloudcompare.org/doc/wiki/in ... ompilation
And for PCL specifically, you'd better found a PCL distribution (if any). Otherwise you'll have to compile it too.
