pcl\_mesh\_sampling

## NAME

pcl\_mesh\_sampling - pcl\_mesh\_sampling

## DESCRIPTION

Syntax is: pcl\_mesh\_sampling input.{ply,obj} output.pcd \<options\>

Convert a CAD model to a point cloud using uniform sampling. For more information, use: pcl\_mesh\_sampling **-h**

  where options are:

 **-n\_samples** X = number of samples (default: 100000)

 **-leaf\_size** X  = the XYZ leaf size for the VoxelGrid **--** for data reduction (default: 0.010000 m)

## AUTHOR
