C++ application to convert pcd file, ply file, txt file or xyz point cloud to MESH representation (Gp3).

pointcloudToMesh

C++ application to convert pcd file, ply file, txt file or xyz point cloud to MESH representation (Gp3).

---

Input file structure support

• .pcd
• .ply
• .txt
• .xyz

Output file structure

Mesh cloud:

• .ply

Example

Compilation

• Set "YOUR OWN" PCL Build DIR in CMakeList.txt e.g: /opt/pcl-1.8.1/build and save it
• Create a "build" folder

in the main folder:

- cd build  
- cmake ../src/
- make

Test

./pointcloudToMESH <ply file> -o <output dir>
./pointcloudToMESH <pcd file> -o <output dir>
./pointcloudToMESH <txt file> -o <output dir>
./pointcloudToMESH <xyz file> -o <output dir>

You can modify the parameters in "createMeshFromCloud" method at main.cpp to get better results!

void createMeshFromCloud(pcl::PointCloud<pcl::PointXYZ>::Ptr& cloud,pcl::PolygonMesh& triangles)

setKSearch(100);                         //It was 20
gp3.setSearchRadius(10);                 //It was 0.025
gp3.setMu(5);                            //It was 2.5
gp3.setMaximumNearestNeighbors(100);     //It was 100
gp3.setMaximumSurfaceAngle(M_PI/4);      //45 degrees   
gp3.setMinimumAngle(M_PI/18);            //10 degrees 
gp3.setMaximumAngle(M_PI/1.5);           //120 degrees     
gp3.setNormalConsistency(false);
