CVB provides two approaches for accessing point clouds:
1. Access to Simple Point Clouds:
Access to simple point clouds, which contain only X, Y, Z and optionally confidence components. They can be processed using theCvb::PointCloud
class.
2. Access to Composites:
Generic access to point clouds, which include additional data such as RGB images or surface normals. They require theCvb::Composite
class.
