Description

Hi,

I have seen an exe pcl_pcd2png.exe which works on organized point clouds.

I have unorganized point clouds. Is there any way to generate images from them?

Research direction

Start by investigating the existing pcl_pcd2png.exe behavior for organized point clouds and how unorganized point clouds are represented in PCL. Determine whether image generation is supported or requires a new design; done should be a documented approach or a clearly scoped implementation plan.
