Utility Functions for Point Cloud Type Interconversion between PCL and Open3D

About

This is utility functions for point cloud type interconversion between PCL and Open3D.
You can convert to pcl::PointCloud from open3d::geometry::PointCloud, and convert to open3d::geometry::PointCloud from pcl::PointCloud.
I think these functions will be useful for peoples who are under a situation where they need to use both PCL and Open3D. :)

Support Types

• pcl::PointXYZ
• pcl::PointNormal
• pcl::PointXYZRGB
• pcl::PointXYZRGBA
• pcl::PointXYZRGBNormal

Sample

• Convert Point Cloud Type To PCL From Open3D

// Convert Point Cloud Type To PCL From Open3D
pcl::PointCloud<PointType>::Ptr pcl_cloud = convert::to_pcl<PointType>( open3d_cloud );

• Convert Point Cloud Type To Open3D From PCL

// Convert Point Cloud Type To Open3D From PCL
std::shared_ptr<open3d::geometry::PointCloud> open3d_cloud = convert::to_open3d<PointType>( pcl_cloud );

Hello,
I'm trying to build this project in Visual Studio 2019. I'm having these three errors. Can you please help me solve these? Thank you!
