Store FusePointCloud in 2D instead of 3D

Hi, I am working on zed2 camera and follow advance spatial mapping from github to retrieve mapping point cloud data. when I save the map in .ply, I know there is a z coordinate in the point cloud and I do not need to use z. so is there a way to just save map data in 2D for my application?

Thanks

Hi,

I guess you can always read the .ply file that was just created, parse it, remove the z values from it, and write to another file ?

I think that is not a right way do do it.

It’ would indeed be more efficient if we would do that within the SDK, however this feature does not exist yet.
