Hi. I am using intel realsense camera through which I am getting pointcloud. My task is to detect a parallel wall to in front of the camera. The logic i want to implement is that if I am able to somehow find out the angle of points corresponding to wall with respect to camera, I can easily find out if the camera is parallel to the wall or not. Is there any way I can find out the angle of points with respect to camera?

How about converting the pointcloud from cartesian to polar co-ordinates? you can then use a threshold on the angle to detect a planar surface. This article does a good job of explaining transforms to and from polar co-ordinates.
