PCL Save VTK File With Texture Coordinates 使用PCL库来保存带纹理坐标的VTK文件

我之前有一篇博客Convert PLY
to VTK Using PCL 1.6.0 or PCL 1.8.0 使用PCL库将PLY格式转为VTK格式展示了如何将PLY格式文件转化为VTK格式的文件，在文章的最后提到了VTK文件保存纹理的两种方式，第一种是需要有texture的图片，然后每个点存储上该点在图片中的x，y坐标，一般会normalize到[0,1]之间。第二种方法是直接存每个点的rgb值，上面的方法用的是第二种，因为导入的PLY格式就直接存储的texture的rgb值，并没有额外提供texture图片。

对于一般的PLY或者PCD格式的点云，一般都是用第二种方式来保存纹理的，即直接存储rgb值，这样转换成的vtk文件自然也是第二种情况，而对于大多数的可视化软件，比如ParaView或者3D Slicer，貌似只支持第一种方式，即需要导入texture图片(如果大家知道直接显示rgb值的方法，请在下方留言告知博主)。这样就极大的不方便了，而且PCL库中的点云格式一般也是XYZRGBA，并没有带UV，纹理有专门的数据结构。我们的目标是生成带texture coordinates的VTK文件，那么可以通过修改pcl自带的saveVTKFile函数来实现目标。

 

这里我们把纹理坐标单独抽出来，用下面的数据结构来表示：

std::vector<Eigen::Vector2f> texcoord;

 

pcl自带的pcl::io::saveVTKFile函数所在的文件的地址是.../io/src/vtk_io.cpp。默认的是写入RGB的值，我们只需要注释掉写入RGB的部分，添加上写入纹理坐标的部分:

 

Using PCL 1.6.0
