range image：

距离图像（range image）的出现对视觉信息处理产生了变革性的影响。与二维图像不同的是,距离图像的像素值代表了三维景物的深度,这使得区域分割、特征抽取、形状复原、景物识别等图像处理工作大为简化。不仅如此,距离图像还使视觉技术真正进入三维接触测量领域。利用距离图像和距离信息重建三维场景较之视觉系统而言,更为精准和简便,重建出来的三维场景对未知环境下移动机器人的自主导航和定位也有着积极的作用。

在这篇教程中，将使用两种不同的方法对一幅深度图像（range image）进行可视化：

 }

关键代码

上述代码的主要功能就是使用点云生成深度图像并显示。

显示方法采用了两种窗体：

1.使用点云生成深度图像

 float noise_level = 0.0;float min_range = 0.0f;int border_size = 1;pcl::RangeImage::Ptr range_image_ptr(new pcl::RangeImage);pcl::RangeImage& range_image = *range_image_ptr;   range_image.createFromPointCloud (point_cloud, angular_resolution_x, angular_resolution_y,pcl::deg2rad (360.0f), pcl::deg2rad (180.0f),scene_sensor_pose, coordinate_frame, noise_level, min_range, border_size);

 方法很简单，使用RangeImage自带的createFromPointCloud()函数，该函数的第一个参数为点云数据，其他传入的参数为控制显示的变量，都设有默认值，其函数头：

      /** brief Create the depth image from a point cloud* param point_cloud the input point cloud* param angular_resolution the angular difference (in radians) between the individual pixels in the image* param max_angle_width an angle (in radians) defining the horizontal bounds of the sensor* param max_angle_height an angle (in radians) defining the vertical bounds of the sensor* param sensor_pose an affine matrix defining the pose of the sensor (defaults to*                    Eigen::Affine3f::Identity () )* param coordinate_frame the coordinate frame (defaults to CAMERA_FRAME)* param noise_level - The distance in meters inside of which the z-buffer will not use the minimum,*                      but the mean of the points. If 0.0 it is equivalent to a normal z-buffer and*                      will always take the minimum per cell.* param min_range the minimum visible range (defaults to 0)* param border_size the border size (defaults to 0)*/template  voidcreateFromPointCloud (const PointCloudType& point_cloud, float angular_resolution=pcl::deg2rad (0.5f),float max_angle_width=pcl::deg2rad (360.0f), float max_angle_height=pcl::deg2rad (180.0f),const Eigen::Affine3f& sensor_pose = Eigen::Affine3f::Identity (),CoordinateFrame coordinate_frame=CAMERA_FRAME, float noise_level=0.0f,float min_range=0.0f, int border_size=0);

 2.使用PCLVisualizer类来显示深度图像

这将创建 3D 查看器PCLVisualizer对象，将背景颜色设置为白色，添加颜色为黑色且点大小为 1 的范围图像（作为点云），并将查看器中的查看位置设置为距离图像中的传感器位置（使用setViewerPose函数）。 注释部分可用于添加坐标系并可视化原始点云。

pcl::visualization::PCLVisualizer viewer ("3D Viewer");
 viewer.setBackgroundColor (1, 1, 1);
 pcl::visualization::PointCloudColorHandlerCustom range_image_color_handler (range_image_ptr, 0, 0, 0);
 viewer.addPointCloud (range_image_ptr, range_image_color_handler, "range image");
 viewer.setPointCloudRenderingProperties (pcl::visualization::PCL_VISUALIZER_POINT_SIZE, 1, "range image");
 //viewer.addCoordinateSystem (1.0f);
 //pcl::visualization::PointCloudColorHandlerCustom point_cloud_color_handler (point_cloud_ptr, 150, 150, 150);
 //viewer.addPointCloud (point_cloud_ptr, point_cloud_color_handler, "original point cloud");
 viewer.initCameraParameters ();
 setViewerPose(viewer, range_image.getTransformationToWorldSystem ());

 3，使用RangeImageVisualizer查看深度图像

在RangeImageVisualizer查看器中查看2D的深度图像，对深度使用颜色编码。

pcl::visualization::RangeImageVisualizer range_image_widget ("Range image");range_image_widget.showRangeImage (range_image);

 运行示例

使用命令行运行程序：

 输入命令：range_image_visualization.exe -l

表示打开实时显示深度图像，没有读取pcd文件，使用的是程序生成的阵列点云。

 读取room_scan1.pcd文件并显示：
