Module segmentation


Detailed Description

Overview

The pcl_segmentation library contains algorithms for segmenting a point cloud into distinct clusters. These algorithms are best suited to processing a point cloud that is composed of a number of spatially isolated regions. In such cases, clustering is often used to break the cloud down into its constituent parts, which can then be processed independently.
