PCL_MESH_SAMPLING(1)

✨ NAME ✨

pcl_mesh_sampling — bestie, it's literally pcl_mesh_sampling 💅

This is the user manual for it, living in the User Commands corner of the man page world.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the whole vibe. The syntax is:

pcl_mesh_sampling input.{ply,obj} output.pcd <options>

She takes a CAD model and converts it into a point cloud using uniform sampling ✨ That's the whole glow-up: mesh in, cloud out.

Want more deets? Just run:

pcl_mesh_sampling -h

and she'll spill everything 🫶

where options are:

• -n_samples X — the number of samples, aka how many points you want her to serve you (default: 100000) 💖
• -leaf_size X — the XYZ leaf size for the VoxelGrid, which she uses for data reduction (default: 0.010000 m) 🎀

lowkey important: those two defaults are 100000 and 0.010000 m, and yes, the metres are doing the most but that's just how she is 😭
