pcd_web_viewer

pcd_web_viewer is a WebGL pointcloud viewer targeted for use with the PCL pointcloud library.

Features:

• Reads binary PCD files directly
• Colorization using RGB channel, or coloring according to X, Y, or Z value
• Configuration through URL
• JavaScript library usable in own HTML sites
• Data files are loaded in a streaming manner, i.e. points start showing while the file is being downloaded.

pcd_web_viewer is based on srv/pointcloud_web_viewer, but was heavily modified to parse binary PCD files.

Usage

Just put the repository somewhere where a web server can serve it. For quick testing, you can install caddy and run caddy in the repository.

Visit viewer.html?load=data/pointcloud.pcd with your browser, where data/pointcloud.pcd is a binary PCD file relative to viewer.html.

License

pcd_web_viewer is released under the BSD-3 license.

Status

JS is not my native programming language - if some JS guru wants to make things nicer patches are very welcome. It would also be nice to make pcd_web_viewer available via Bower.
