πŸ’– PCL_OPENNI_OR...D_COMPRESSION πŸ’–

okay bestie, welcome to the User Commands section of the manual, and specifically to PCL_OPENNI_OR...D_COMPRESSION(1) β€” yes the name is giving "someone fell asleep on the keyboard" but she's iconic and we love her 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

pcl_openni_organized_compression β€” pcl_openni_organized_compression

no thoughts, just vibes, and the vibe is literally the same word twice πŸ’…


🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so the very first thing she says to you is:

Please specify compression mode..

(and yes, two dots, she's dramatic, we respect it 😭)

she is a PCL organized point cloud stream compression tool, no cap. here's how you call her:

./pcl_openni_organized_compression [mode] [parameters]

πŸŽ€ I/O πŸŽ€

  • -f file β€” the file name, bestie. that's it, that's the whole option. she's simple like that πŸ’–

πŸ¦‹ file compression mode πŸ¦‹

this is where you tell her what to do with actual files:

  • -x β€” encode point cloud stream to file πŸ”₯
  • -d β€” decode from file and display point cloud stream ✨

🌈 network streaming mode 🌈

for when you want the drama to happen over the network instead:

  • -s β€” start server on localhost πŸ‘‘
  • -c host β€” connect to server and display decoded cloud stream 🧚

πŸ’œ optional compression parameters πŸ’œ

the little extras, the accessories to the outfit, the sprinkles on the πŸ“:

  • -a β€” enable color coding 🌸
  • -t β€” output statistics πŸ“Š
  • -e β€” show input cloud during encoding πŸ‘€
  • -r β€” raw encoding of disparity maps
  • -g β€” gray scale conversion 🩢

here's a lil demo she left for us, copy it exactly bestie, character for character:
