library for geometric processing of pointclouds {#mainpage}

Description

Dependencies

This package requires of the following system libraries and packages

• cmake, a cross-platform build system.
• doxygen and graphviz to generate the documentation.
• stdc++ and pthread libraries.

Under linux all of these utilities are available in ready-to-use packages.

Under MacOS most of the packages are available via fink

This package also requires of the following IRI libraries:

Compilation and installation

Download this repository and create a build folder inside:

mkdir build

Inside the build folder execute the following commands:

cmake ..

The default build mode is DEBUG. That is, objects and executables include debug information.

The RELEASE build mode optimizes for speed. To build in this mode execute instead cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE

The release mode will be kept until next time cmake is executed.

make

In case no errors are reported, the generated libraries (if any) will be located at the lib folder and the executables (if any) will be located at the bin folder.

In order to be able to use the library, it it necessary to copy it into the system. To do that, execute

make install

as root and the shared libraries will be copied to /usr/local/lib/iridrivers directory and the header files will be copied to /usr/local/include/iridrivers dierctory. At this point, the library may be used by any user.

To remove the library from the system, exceute

make uninstall

as root, and all the associated files will be removed from the system.

To generate the documentation execute the following command:

make doc

How to use it

To use this library in an other library or application, in the CMakeLists.txt file, first it is necessary to locate if the library has been installed or not using the following command

FIND_PACKAGE(library for geometric processing of pointclouds)

In the case that the package is present, it is necessary to add the header files directory to the include directory path by using

INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(${library for geometric processing of pointclouds_INCLUDE_DIR})

and it is also necessary to link with the desired libraries by using the following command

TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(<executable name> ${library for geometric processing of pointclouds_LIBRARY})
