# pcl\_extract\_feature(1)

pcl\_extract\_feature

## NAME

pcl\_extract\_feature - pcl\_extract\_feature

## DESCRIPTION

Syntax is: pcl\_extract\_feature input.pcd output.pcd \<options\>

Extract features from a point cloud. For more information, use: pcl\_extract\_feature **-h**

  where options are:

 **-feature** X = the feature descriptor algorithm to be used (default: FPFHEstimation)

 **-n\_radius** X = use a radius of Xm around each point to determine the neighborhood in normal estimation (default: 0.000000)

 **-n\_k** X = use a fixed number of X-nearest neighbors around each point in normal estimation (default: 0.000000)

 **-f\_radius** X = use a radius of Xm around each point to determine the neighborhood in feature extraction (default: 0.000000)

 **-f\_k** X = use a fixed number of X-nearest neighbors around each point in feature extraction(default: 0.000000)
