🦋 PCL_BOUNDARY_ESTIMATION 💅

okay bestie, welcome to pcl_boundary_estimation — it's a user command, it lives in the Point Cloud Library universe, and today we're finding boundary points. no cap. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

pcl_boundary_estimation — literally just pcl_boundary_estimation. that's the name. iconic behavior honestly 🎀

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

here's the vibe. the syntax is exactly this, don't freestyle it:

pcl_boundary_estimation input.pcd output.pcd <options>

so you give it an input.pcd, you give it an output.pcd, and then you sprinkle your options on top like glitter. 🫶

what it actually does? it estimates boundary points using pcl::BoundaryEstimation. that's the whole job. that's the moment. 👑

and if you want more info (and bestie, you do), just run:

pcl_boundary_estimation -h

where options are — and yes, these are your options, your whole personality for the next five minutes:

  • -radius X — use a radius of Xm around each point to determine the neighborhood. (default: 0.000000) — yes, the default is zero, that's not a typo, that's just how she is. 💀
  • -k X — use a fixed number of X-nearest neighbors around each point. (default: 0) 🌈
  • -thresh X — the decision boundary (angle threshold) that marks points as boundary or regular. (default: 1.570796) 🎀
so you've got three knobs to turn: a radius, a neighbor count, and an angle threshold. that's it. that's the whole toolkit. lowkey elegant if you think about it. 💖

and that's the whole page, bestie — pcl_boundary_estimation version 1.7.1, from way back in May 2014, still serving looks. go estimate some boundaries. slay. 💅✨
