PCL_COMPUTE_HULL(1)

✨ PCL_COMPUTE_HULL(1) ✨

okay so this is the pcl_compute_hull page from the User Commands section of the manual, and bestie, we're gonna turn point clouds into hulls together 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

pcl_compute_hull — literally just pcl_compute_hull, that's the whole name, no notes 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The syntax is giving:

pcl_compute_hull input.pcd output.vtk [optional_arguments]

So you hand it an input.pcd, it hands you back an output.vtk, and in between it computes the convex or concave hull of your point cloud. Iconic behaviour, no cap 🫶

Want more info? Just run:

pcl_compute_hull -h

and it will spill the tea for you ✨

Now, the optional arguments, in all their glory:

• -alpha X — this is the alpha value for the ConcaveHull (Alpha Shapes) algorithm. So if you don't specify alpha, the tool will just run the ConvexHull method instead. The default is 0.150000 👑

not me leaving alpha unspecified and getting a whole different algorithm, the way that default just switches modes on you 😭

💜 AUTHOR 💜

pcl_compute_hull is part of the Point Cloud Library (PCL) — www.pointclouds.org 🌈

The Point Cloud Library (PCL) is a standalone, large scale, open project for 2D/3D image and point cloud processing. She's big, she's open, she's doing the most for point clouds fr fr 💖

This manual page was written by Leopold Palomo-Avellaneda <leo@alaxarxa.net> with the help of the help2man tool and some handmade arrangement for the Debian project (and may be used by others). Shoutout to Leopold, we love a collaborative queen 🎀

and that's the whole vibe, bestie — pcl_compute_hull version 1.7.1, dated May 2014, filed under PCL_COMPUTE_HULL(1). slay, go compute some hulls 💅✨
