Hi Mathieu,

I noticed that there is an option to project the pointcloud points back to an image and take the rgb info that corresponds to each xyz and I have some questions.

First of all, does this technique paint each scan independently and afterwards assembles the pointcloud or does it paint the already assembled cloud ?

Also, In case I want to paint the pointcloud I got as result, how should I do this ? Should I subscribe to the rgb topics? Probably not, can you tell me a bit more how this works ?

best regards,
Anthony
