VERTIS Virtual Scanner download

A virtual scanner that converts 3D models (in Wavefront .obj format) into pointcloud files (in PCL .pcd format). Useful for simulating robotic input.

NOTE: This project has been merged into the project at https://github.com/canderegg/cfg_obj

Features

Imports 3D models in Wavefront Object (.obj) format.
Exports pointclouds in PCL Cloud (.pcd) format.
Allows user-defined sampling rates when scanning.
Can simulate Gaussian and Kinect noise profiles.
Can cull backfaces and occluded faces.
Supports Wavefront material libraries (.mtl), including textures and Lambertian shading.

Project Samples
