PCL (Point Cloud Library)

The Point Cloud Library (PCL) is an open-source software project designed for processing and managing 3D point cloud data, which is a collection of data points in three-dimensional space. It is widely used in applications like robotics, computer vision, and mapping. PCL provides tools for filtering, segmenting, and analyzing these point clouds, allowing users to extract meaningful information and create 3D models. By facilitating tasks such as object recognition and scene reconstruction, PCL helps researchers and developers create advanced technologies that require understanding of the physical world in three dimensions.
