"The Point Cloud Library (or PCL) is a large scale, open project [1]
for 2D/3D image and point cloud processing. The PCL framework contains
numerous state-of-the art algorithms including filtering, feature
estimation, surface reconstruction, registration, model fitting and
segmentation. These algorithms can be used, for example, to filter
outliers from noisy data, stitch 3D point clouds together, segment
relevant parts of a scene, extract keypoints and compute descriptors to
recognize objects in the world based on their geometric appearance, and
create surfaces from point clouds and visualize them -- to name a few.
PCL is cross-platform, and has been successfully compiled and deployed on Linux, MacOS, Windows, and Android/iOS.
To simplify development, PCL is split into a series of smaller code
libraries, that can be compiled separately. This modularity is important
for distributing PCL on platforms with reduced computational or size
constraints (for more information about each module see the documentation page). Another way to think about PCL is as a graph of code libraries, similar to the Boost set of C++ libraries."
