Description

Hi,

I have seen an exe pcl_pcd2png.exe which works on organized point clouds.

I have unorganized point clouds. Is there any way to generate images from them?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the source code of pcl pcd2png to understand how it works for organized point clouds. Then investigate existing methods for creating range images from unorganized point clouds, such as using the pcl::RangeImage::createFromPointCloudWithKnownSize() function. Consider writing a similar tool or extending the existing one.
