💅 PCL_SPIN_ESTIMATION — ok bestie, let's talk spin images 💅

so this is the manual page for pcl_spin_estimation, section 1 of the user commands, and yes we're gonna get through it together, no cap 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

pcl_spin_estimation — literally just pcl_spin_estimation. that's it. that's the name. iconic of her honestly 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so the syntax is giving:

pcl_spin_estimation input.pcd output.pcd <options>

she estimates spin-image descriptors using pcl::SpinEstimation. that's the whole vibe. and if you want more info (and honestly who doesn't), you hit her with:

pcl_spin_estimation -h

and she'll tell you everything. main character energy fr fr 💖

and then... the options. bestie. there are options. here they are, all of them, zero skipped, we don't do that here:

  • -radius X — use a radius of Xm around each point to determine the neighborhood (default: 0.000000) 🌸
  • -width X — resolution (width) of a spin-image (default: 8) ✨
  • -suppangle X — min cosine of support angle for filtering points by normals (default: 0.500000) 🎀
  • -neigh X — min number of neighbours to compute a spin-image (default: 1) 🦋
  • -radial — toggles radial structure of a spin-image (default: false) 💫
  • -angular — toggles angular domain of a spin-image (default: false) 💫
lowkey note: the defaults are the defaults, don't come for me. if you don't pass a flag, you get what's in the parentheses. periodt.
