+The Point Cloud Library (or PCL) is a large scale, open project for 2D/3D
+image and point cloud processing. The PCL framework contains numerous
+state-of-the art algorithms including filtering, feature estimation,
+surface reconstruction, registration, model fitting and segmentation.
+These algorithms can be used, for example, to filter outliers from noisy
+data, stitch 3D point clouds together, segment relevant parts of a scene,
+extract keypoints and compute descriptors to recognize objects in the
+world based on their geometric appearance, and create surfaces from point
+clouds and visualize them -- to name a few.
