A toolkit for extracting, manipulating, and evaluating point clouds and 3D spatial maps. Includes functions for processing, analyzing, and visualizing point clouds, designed to streamline workflows in 3D mapping and general point cloud handling. Ideal for researchers and developers working with LiDAR, SLAM, and 3D spatial data.

Install

pip install pointcloudcrafter

Usage

We provide a standalone Pip package, which is self-contained, so you do not have to worry about any dependencies and possible conflicts. We also provide the tool as ROS2 package. Both feature the full functionality, so you can decide what suits your needs best.

For rosbag-processing:

pointcloudcrafter-rosbag -h
 
ros2 run pointcloudcrafter rosbag -h

For file-processing:

pointcloudcrafter-file -h
 
ros2 run pointcloudcrafter file -h
