Revision history [back]

To assemble over time, use laser_assembler. laser_geometry converts one scan into one cloud. If you want to assemble over time, you need to use that package. Or, you could always use the Point Cloud Library's default types and just add them together. I would strongly recommend the laser_assembler package though.
