Hi,

when I create a PCL Passtrough Filter object (pcl::PassThrough) in a simple code fragment

#include "ros/ros.h" 
#include <sensor_msgs/PointCloud2.h>
#include <pcl/filters/passthrough.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv) 
{
    ros::init(argc, argv, "PointCloud2Filter");
    ros::NodeHandle n;
    pcl::PassThrough<sensor_msgs::PointCloud2> pass;
    return 0;
 }

I get the following error message while compilation on my system (Kubuntu 12.10, ROS Hydro, PCL 1.7)

In file included from /usr/include/pcl-1.7/pcl/point_cloud.h:50:0,
             from /usr/include/pcl-1.7/pcl/pcl_base.h:53,

What's wrong? Thanks for your help!

Thanks for your advice fergs! Now I have problems with cast operators and pcl data types ...

 void cloudCallback(const sensor_msgs::PointCloud2ConstPtr& ros_cloud)
 {
       // convert ros -> pcl related to PCL 1.7
       pcl::PCLPointCloud2 pcl_cloud;
       pcl_conversions::toPCL(*ros_cloud, pcl_cloud);   
       // Create the pcl filtering object
       pcl::PassThrough<pcl::PCLPointCloud2> pass;
       pass.setInputCloud(pcl_cloud);  // <-- does not work, we need a cast operator here
                                                                to pcl::PointCloud2ConstPtr&
  }

I guess it is not possible to generate a pcl::PointCloud2ConstPtr& from struct pcl::PCLPointCloud2? How can I solve the problem?

Thanks a lot

Sebastian

In PCL1.7 & Hydro, the sensor_msgs have been removed from PCL, and renamed. Take a look at the pcl_conversions package, which allows converting to pcl::PointCloud<> from sensor_msgs.
