Description

Hi people,

I am inside a project which needs to develope some pointcloud algorithms using the GPU, in order to optimize the process.

I was able to compile PCL-1.9.1 from source with CUDA support, or at least I have not found errors.

I have a question related to the namespaces of PCL. Which is the difference between pcl::cuda and pcl::gpu?

Thank you very much for you future help.

Research direction

The issue names the pcl::cuda and pcl::gpu namespaces but no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating both namespaces in the PCL source and existing documentation, then clarify their distinction in the appropriate project documentation if maintainers confirm that documentation is needed.
