This article may meet Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion because in its current form it serves only to promote or publicise an entity, person, product, or idea, and would require a fundamental rewrite in order to become encyclopedic. However, the mere fact that a company, organization, or product is a page's subject does not, on its own, qualify that page for deletion under this criterion. This criterion also does not apply where substantial encyclopedic content would remain after removing the promotional material as deletion is not cleanup; in this case please remove the promotional material yourself, or add the {{advert}} tag to alert others to do so. See CSD G11.
If this article does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion, or you intend to fix it, please remove this notice, but do not remove this notice from pages that you have created yourself. If you created this page and you disagree with the given reason for deletion, you can click the button below and leave a message explaining why you believe it should not be deleted. You can also visit the talk page to check if you have received a response to your message. Note that this article may be deleted at any time if it unquestionably meets the speedy deletion criteria, or if an explanation posted to the talk page is found to be insufficient.
Note to administrators: this article has content on its talk page which should be checked before deletion. Administrators: check links, talk, history (last), and logs before deletion.

PCL (Point Cloud Library) is an open source framework for n-D Point Clouds and 3D geometry processing. The library contains numerous state-of-the art algorithms including filtering, feature estimation, surface reconstruction, registration, model fitting and segmentation. PCL is released under the terms of the BSD license, and is open source software. It is free for commercial and research use.
Documentation
The central site for detailed PCL information is the PCL Wiki. In addition, the project has a mailing list for users and developers, publicly archived on Nabble.
History
PCL's development started in 2008 at Willow Garage, with the purpose to provide a 3D point cloud data processing backing for ROS (Robot Operating System). Version 0.1 was released on March 10, 2009. [1] While initial development targeted Linux operating systems and ROS (Robot Operating System), as of version 0.6, PCL has been released as an independent library and provides partial support for Linux, Windows, MacOS, and Android.
PCL is a large collaborative effort, and it would not exist without the contributions of several people. The current development team contains researchers and programmers from many different institutions around the world, including: AIST, UC Berkeley, University of Bonn, University of British Columbia, University of Freiburg, Intel Research Seattle, LAAS/CNRS, MIT, Stanford University, TUM, University of Tokyo, WUSTL, and Willow Garage.
Programming language
The library is written entirely in C++, and makes use of Boost shared pointers for all its internal data structures.
OS Support
PCL runs under Linux, Mac OS, Windows, and Android. The user can get official releases or take the current snapshot under SVN from the project's website. PCL uses CMake.
