Obtain HALCON-Readable Point Cloud through Mech-Eye API
Through Mech-Eye API, you can obtain point clouds faster than through HALCON, and it is possible to obtain textured point clouds directly. Mech-Eye API provides a C++ sample program CaptureHalconPointCloud. By running this sample program, you can obtain untextured and textured point clouds through Mech-Eye API and convert the data to HALCON-readable format. Then, you can read the point clouds into HALCON and perform further processing.
This sample program can be used on Windows and Ubuntu operating system.
