Wow, I'm really impressed. I just recreated a little vision pipeline that took me a couple of days with PCL. With ParaView and the PCL plugin it took just about an hour, given that knew where I wanted to go and I only tested it on a limited dataset but without prior ParaView experience.
I have a few questions/remarks: - Only a small part of PCL is wrapped :( Let's change that! - Sadly, the TangoParaView binary does not include the OpenNI source. I would have loved to test my pipeline on the real problem. - ROS (Robot Operating System) [1] is pretty popular in the robotics community. It's basically a middle ware (and much more) to transfer all kinds of data such as point clouds. I guess it should not be too difficult to write a) a source that subscribes to the point cloud data, and b) a plugin that publishes the results of the pipeline (e.g., the bounding boxes or the resulting cloud). Is that the right way to go? - The dev guide of the PCL plugin only mentions "tbd." in the "Contributing to the PCL Plugin" section. So how does it work? Where is the code? :) - Is it possible to "export" the pipeline and have it run as its own process?
