[ros-users] "object" extraction from a hokuyo 3D scan

[Eric Perko]

Take a look at http://www.ros.org/wiki/laser_assembler for assembling a
bunch of planar scans into 1 point cloud.

Once you have a point cloud, you should be able to use anything that
operates on point clouds, such as PCL ( http://www.ros.org/wiki/pcl ), to do
the volume extraction.
