Point Cloud Orthographic Projection with Multiviews

Simple point cloud orthographic projection, support projection to XY, YZ, ZX planes.

Introduction

Some time it is useful to get the orthographic projection of a point cloud. Ortho projection can remove the camera distortion. Multiview projections can provide extra information for deep learning tasks.

Usage

It requires pypcd package, if you are using python3, please install this version of pypcd. klintan fixed the cStringIO issue in the original version.

Run point_cloud_ortho_projector.py for simple visualization.

Data

For depth image data:

I used the synthstic data from UBC3V dataset. It is a sythetic dataset for human pose estimation.

In the <sample_data> dir, I put several images from UBC3V dataset.

For PCD data:

I used pypcd to load the PCD data.

In the <sample_data> dir, I put bunny PCD file in ascii.

Thanks
