class PointCloudPlyWriter

Class for writing point clouds to PLY files.

Public Static Functions

static bool WriteFormatPLY(const char *filename, const std::vector<PointXYZ> &points, bool useBinary)

Save a point cloud to a file in Polygon File Format (PLY), see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PLY_%28file_format%29.

Parameters:

  • filename – The file to save the point cloud to

  • points – The points to save

  • useBinary – If the output file is binary or ascii

Returns:

Returns true if write was successful and false otherwise

static bool WriteFormatPLY(const char *filename, const std::vector<PointXYZ> &points, const std::vector<uint32_t> &rgbaMap, bool useBinary)

Save a point cloud to a file in Polygon File Format (PLY) which has colors for each point, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PLY_%28file_format%29.

Parameters:

  • filename – The file to save the point cloud to

  • points – The points to save

  • rgbaMap – RGBA colors for each point, must be same length as points

  • useBinary – If the output file is binary or ascii

Returns:

Returns true if write was successful and false otherwise

static bool WriteFormatPLY(const char *filename, const std::vector<PointXYZ> &points, const std::vector<uint16_t> &intensityMap, bool useBinary)

Save a point cloud to a file in Polygon File Format (PLY) which has intensities for each point, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PLY_%28file_format%29.

Parameters:

  • filename – The file to save the point cloud to

  • points – The points to save

  • intensityMap – Intensities for each point, must be same length as points

  • useBinary – If the output file is binary or ascii

Returns:

Returns true if write was successful and false otherwise
