When visualizing point cloud data gathered by your robot’s sensors, you may want to customize point colors to help you analyze the scan. Using customized point clouds can make a scan easier to interpret at a glance and streamline your analysis.
Most recently on the Foxglove blog, we’ve published a tutorial on how to use either standard ROS schemas or framework-agnostic Foxglove schemas to display colorized point clouds in our open source data viz app Foxglove Studio.
We hope this tutorial helps you make sense of your dense sensor data!
