Description
Hi everyone,
when generating a merged.ply file and open it with
import open3d as o3d
pcd = o3d.io.read_point_cloud('merged.ply')
print(pcd.colors)
it gives me
std::vector<Eigen::Vector3d> with 0 elements.
Use numpy.asarray() to access data.
Am I doing something wrong or does the point cloud come without colors?
