How to create images from the velodyne pointcloud data from the top view? [closed]
I would like to create images from the velodyne pointcloud data from the bird's eye view and use it for further processing. The output should be sensor_msgs/Image. Input is sensor_msgs/PointCLoud2.
When I tried converting using $rosrun pcl_ros convert_pointcloud_to_image input:=/velo_points output:=/velo_image I got the error as "Error in converting cloud to image message: No rgb field!!"
Any help in this regard will be very much appreciated.
