PCL_PCD2PNG(1)

PCL_PCD2PNG(1) 💖

okay bestie, gather round — this is the user command page for pcl_pcd2png, living its best life in the User Commands section of the manual. Let's get into it ✨

✨ NAME ✨

pcl_pcd2png — yes that's the whole name, it's giving minimal, it's giving mystery, and honestly? We respect it. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

pcl_pcd2png [Options] input.pcd output.png

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Convert a PCD file to PNG format. That's it, that's the whole vibe. Point cloud in, picture out, slay. 🦋

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• --help — Show this help. Like when you're lost in the group chat and someone finally explains what's going on. 🫶
• --field — Set the field to extract data from. The supported fields are:
  • normal
  • rgb — this one is the default, periodt ⭐
  • label
  • z
  • curvature
  • intensity
• --scale — Apply scaling to extracted data. Heads up though, this one only works for the z, curvature, and intensity fields, so no sneaking it onto the others bestie 🙈. The supported options are:
  • <float> — Scale by a fixed number. You pick the number, it does the thing.
  • auto — Auto-scale to the full range. Let it cook, it's got this. ✨
  • no — No scaling. Raw data, no filter, main character energy only.

If the option is omitted then default scaling (depends on the field type) will be used. So like, it'll just decide for itself, iykyk.

• --colors — Choose color mapping mode for labels. And this one is exclusively for the label field, no gatekeeping but also it's literally only for labels 💅. The supported options are:
  • mono — Use shades of gray. This is the default, btw.
  • rgb — Use randomly generated RGB colors. Chaos mode, we love her 🌈

Note: The converter will try to use the RGB field if the --field option is not supplied. So if you say nothing, it's gonna assume rgb, and honestly? Respect, it read the room. 👑
