Practical PCL Operations: Validation, Copying, Bounding, and Grid Organization

Verifying Coordinate Valdiity Point cloud data frequently contains sensor artifacts, resulting in coordinates populated with NaN or Inf values. PCL provides a dedicated utility to safely verify whether a point contains mathematically valid coordinates before processing. The pcl::isFinite() function evaluates all three spatial axes and return ...
