Description
Hi,
I have installed PCL on Windows, and have discovered that PCL provides "Prebuilt Binaries" present at $(PCL_DIRECTORY)/bin/
apart from being an API library.
I found these binaries to be really helpful in my analysis of 3D models and have saved lot of my time.
However, I am not able to find what each of these "Prebuilt Binary" does. Right now I am going by guessing the name of each of the binary and looking at their command line help.
It would helpful, if there is a functional description of what each of the Binary is capable of doing.
This will help in being efficient while using PCL library such as deciding between writing a functionality on my own or using a prebuilt binary for the same.
P.S - There is some documentation present here - https://pcl.readthedocs.io/projects/tutorials/en/latest/walkthrough.html#binaries, but it is not the complete list

Research direction
Start with the existing walkthrough section at https://pcl.readthedocs.io/projects/tutorials/en/latest/walkthrough.html#binaries and inspect the prebuilt binaries in $(PCL_DIRECTORY)/bin/ on Windows. Compare the listed tools with their command-line help, then document a functional description for the complete set so users can choose between an existing binary and implementing the functionality themselves.
