One can easily convert PCD and LAS format to .txt format and then to hdf5 or similar using Python or Matlab. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44408141/how-to-convert-las-file-to-ply-file?utm_medium=organic&utm_source=google_rich_qa&utm_campaign=google_rich_qa for more info. Liblas library for python...
Develop branch of gtsam has changed since then. To adapt to that, change the line `Point3_ pt2_1_ = transform_to(pose, pt2_);` to `Point3_ pt2_1_ = transformTo(pose, pt2_);`
A proper way to convert a mesh into point cloud representation is to use mesh_sampling (https://github.com/PointCloudLibrary/pcl/blob/master/tools/mesh_sampling.cpp), which will generate points uniformly from the faces of the mesh.
I think faces with category_id=-1 simply don't have a label.
You can use [Xnviewmp](https://www.xnview.com/en/xnviewmp/) or GIMP [plugin](https://github.com/chausner/gimp-jxr) for viewing. Works for me under Ubuntu 16.04.
