downsample_filter#

Purpose#

The downsample_filter is a node that reduces the number of points.

Inner-workings / Algorithms#

Approximate Downsample Filter#

pcl::VoxelGridNearestCentroid is used. The algorithm is described in tier4_pcl_extensions

Random Downsample Filter#

pcl::RandomSample is used, which points are sampled with uniform probability.

Voxel Grid Downsample Filter#

pcl::VoxelGrid is used, which points in each voxel are approximated with their centroid.

Inputs / Outputs#

These implementations inherit pointcloud_preprocessor::Filter class, please refer README.

Parameters#
