00001 /** 00002 \addtogroup visualization Module visualization 00003 00004 \section secVisualizationPresentation Overview 00005 00006 The <b>pcl_visualization</b> library was built for the purpose of being able to quickly prototype and visualize the 00007 results of algorithms operating on 3D point cloud data. Similar to OpenCV's <b>highgui</b> routines for displaying 00008 2D images and for drawing basic 2D shapes on screen, the library offers: 00009 00010 <ul> 00011 <li> methods for rendering and setting visual properties (colors, point sizes, opacity, etc) for any n-D point cloud 00012 datasets in pcl::PointCloud<T> format; 00013 \image html http://www.pointclouds.org/documentation/overview/_images/bunny.jpg 00014 <li> methods for drawing basic 3D shapes on screen (e.g., cylinders, spheres,lines, polygons, etc) either from sets 00015 of points or from parametric equations; 00016 \image html http://www.pointclouds.org/documentation/overview/_images/shapes.jpg 00017 <li> a histogram visualization module (PCLHistogramVisualizer) for 2D plots; 00018 \image html http://www.pointclouds.org/documentation/overview/_images/histogram.jpg 00019 <li> a multitude of Geometry and Color handler for pcl::PointCloud<T> datasets; 00020 \image html http://www.pointclouds.org/documentation/overview/_images/normals.jpg 00021 \image html http://www.pointclouds.org/documentation/overview/_images/pcs.jpg 00022 <li> a pcl::RangeImage visualization module. 00023 \image html http://www.pointclouds.org/documentation/overview/_images/range_image.jpg 00024 </ul> 00025 00026 The package makes use of the VTK library for 3D rendering for range image and 2D operations. 00027 00028 For implementing your own visualizers, take a look at the tests and examples accompanying the library. 00029 00030 \section secVisualizationRequirements Requirements 00031 - \ref common "common" 00032 - VTK 00033 - \ref io "io" 00034 - \ref kdtree "kdtree" 00035 - \ref range_image "range_image" 00036 00037 */
