How to check cloud-point is organized or not? #1563

Hi @ranjitkathiriya The link below describes that you should be able to know if a point cloud is unorganized or organized just from the type of roslaunch instruction that you are using (rs_camera for unorganized and rs_rgbd for organized). The link below states that when using rs_rgbd, the organized cloud is available from the depth_image_proc nodelet. Information about depth_image_proc can be found here: http://wiki.ros.org/depth_image_proc In regard to rs_camera, the RealSense ROS wrapper documentation's section on launch parameters states that using the pointcloud filter will add a pointcloud topic /camera/depth/color/points roslaunch realsense2_camera rs_camera.launch filters:=pointcloud |
is_dense is set to true for Pointcloud2 if there are no invalid points, as described in the link below: http://docs.ros.org/en/api/sensor_msgs/html/msg/PointCloud2.html An unorganized cloud is dense, so is_dense = true because it has no invalid points. An organized cloud has invalid points and so is_dense = false. The link below that discusses is_dense describes that in an organized cloud, invalid points are present because they are needed to fill up the point cloud for pixels that do not have a valid measurement. https://answers.ros.org/question/234455/pointcloud2-and-pointfield/?answer=234472#post-id-234472 |
Thanks for the link and explanation about is_dense and organized cloud. Your explanation was really helpful to me. Thanks |
