5 
6  The \b pcl_io library contains classes and functions for reading and writing
7  point cloud data (PCD) files, as well as capturing point clouds from a
8  variety of sensing devices. An introduction to some of these capabilities can
9  be found in the following tutorials:

17  PCL is agnostic with respect to the data sources that are used to generate 3D
18  point clouds. While OpenNI-compatible cameras have recently been at the
19  center of attention in the 3D/robotics sensing community, many of the devices
20  enumerated below have been used with PCL tools in the past:
