Description

Currently we have a version of the poisson library within the code. As the directory is named poission4 I think the code could be based on Poisson V4 - but the current version is 13.74 (see here). Currently they are working on a CMake integration (see https://github.com/mkazhdan/PoissonRecon/pull/231), so maybe we could integrate this as external dependency, so we do not need to maintain this code anymore (e.g. it contains some compiler warnings).

Research direction

Inspect the existing poission4 directory and compare it with PoissonRecon version 13.74. Review the referenced PoissonRecon CMake integration pull request (#231) first. Done means PCL uses PoissonRecon as an external dependency instead of maintaining the current internal code, with the existing compiler warnings addressed.
