PCL_COMPUTE_CLOUD_ERROR(1)

💖 NAME 💖

pcl_compute_cloud_error — bestie, that's literally the name, that's the whole vibe ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so picture this: you've got two point clouds and you wanna know how far apart they're living. That's the whole job. The syntax is:

pcl_compute_cloud_error source.pcd target.pcd output_intensity.pcd <options>

where the options are, and I'm gonna hold your hand through this:

• -correspondence X — this is the way of selecting the corresponding pair in the target cloud for the current point in the source cloud 👑 like, how do we decide which point in the target is the one for each point in the source. it's giving matchmaker energy fr fr

and the options for that are:

• index — points with identical indices are paired together. Note: both clouds need to have the same number of points 💀 (yes, both. no exceptions, bestie)
• nn — the source point is paired with its nearest neighbor in the target cloud. lowkey the classic move 🌸
• nnplane — the source point is paired with its projection on the plane determined by the nearest neighbor in the target cloud. Note: the target cloud needs to contain normals, no cap 🫶 (no normals = no plane = we simply cannot)

default is: index — so if you say nothing, that's what you get. main character default behavior, periodt 💅
