Point Cloud Library

Point Cloud Library (PCL) is an open-source software library designed for working with 3D point cloud data, which consists of millions of points that represent the external surfaces of objects or environments. It provides tools for processing, filtering, and analyzing this data, enabling tasks like object recognition, 3D modeling, and environmental mapping. PCL is widely used in robotics, computer vision, and graphics, helping developers create applications that interact with the physical world in a more intelligent way, such as in self-driving cars or drone navigation.
