Use PCL to batch convert point cloud.Bin files to.Pcd

B standing | official account ： A graduate student who knows everything

• New folder datasets
• datasets Two folders will be created under the file bin And pcd,bin Store binary files to be converted in ,pcd Store the converted point cloud file
• datasets Under the new CMakeLists.txt

• Note that only modification is required binpath And pcdpath For your path
• newly build build Folder , So now the file level is like this

├── bin2pcd.cpp
├── build
├── CMakeLists.txt
└── datasets
    ├── bin
        ├── 0000000000.bin
        ├── 0000000001.bin
            ...
    └── pcd
        ├── 0000000000.bin
        ├── 0000000001.bin
            ...

• The remaining steps are normal compilation , Get into build Folder

cmake .. && make -j12 

• Then run the file

./bin2pcd
