how to get 3D pointcloud from 2D Laserscan without robot simulation
All I have is a 2D Laser Scanner and a PC. I am able to get the 2D live data of the scanner in RVIZ. I want to make 3D representation by moving scanner. I have used laser_assembler library to make PointCloud of LaserScans. Now, i am getting the PointCloud in a single plane. I have searched and found that we need to transform scans before assembling. I am not understanding, how to do this. Can anybody please help.

by moving scanner
Do you mean by hand ?
When you say "transform scans" it means that you have to register how your laser has moved with relation to a global frame (usually map) to correctly create your 3D map. So if you are moving your laser by hand you will need to use a localization node to create the transform between a map frame and your laser frame : see #q209617.

Hello. Thanks for your reply. yes. I am moving scanner by hand. I have done the transformation by incrementing laser_frame's z-axis +0.02 per second. Now laser data(2D) keeps moving upwards(i.e in z-direction) All I want is, to have every single scan(2D, X and Y values) in different z-coordinate. Is it possible ?

Finally it worked. Turned out to be the issue of providing wrong "fixed frame value" in laser assembler.
