💖 PCL_POISSON_RECONSTRUCTION 💖

okay bestie so this one's a User Commands manual page, and it's called pcl_poisson_reconstruction. literally what it says on the tin. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

pcl_poisson_reconstruction — no cap, that's the whole name. iconic, honestly.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

the syntax? here's the whole vibe:

pcl_poisson_reconstruction input.pcd output.vtk <options>

so you feed it an input.pcd, it hands you back an output.vtk, and you can sprinkle <options> on top like glitter ✨

what it's actually doing: it computes the surface reconstruction of a point cloud using the Poisson surface reconstruction (pcl::surface::Poisson). that's the whole main character moment.

want more info? go ask it directly:

pcl_poisson_reconstruction -h

and where options are: 👇

  • -depth X — sets the maximum depth of the tree that's gonna be used for surface reconstruction. default is 8. (it says "set the maximum depth of the tree that will be used for surface reconstruction" — yes, exactly that. no notes.)
  • -solver_divide X — sets the depth at which a block Gauss-Seidel solver gets used to solve the Laplacian equation. default is 8.
  • -iso_divide X — sets the depth at which a block iso-surface extractor should be used to extract the iso-surface. default is 8.
  • -point_weight X — specifies the importance that interpolation of the point samples is given in the formulation of the screened Poisson equation. and here's the fun part, bestie: if you set this to 0, you get the results of the original (unscreened) Poisson Reconstruction. default is 4.000000.

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 it may be used by others). so much effort, we love to see it 🎀

and that's a wrap, bestie!! this page is from pcl_poisson_reconstruction 1.7.1, dated May 2014, and it lives in the PCL_POISSON_RECONSTRUCTION(1) section. periodt. 💅🦋
