Point Cloud Library (PCL)

Point Cloud Library (PCL) is an open-source software framework designed for working with 3D point cloud data. Point clouds are collections of data points in space, often generated by 3D scanners or cameras, representing the shape of objects or environments. PCL provides tools for processing, filtering, and analyzing these point clouds, enabling users to perform tasks like object recognition, surface reconstruction, and scene understanding. It is widely used in robotics, computer vision, and augmented reality, making it easier for developers to create applications that understand and interact with the 3D world.
