Sounds like a cool project.  You may need to add some additional wrappers
for feature extraction if you are looking for things beyond the sample
consensus models that we have.  I dont think any of the point feature
histogram utilities are currently wrapped.

Windows builds of the whole stack are a bit tricky.  Feel free to share
your error messages, and I'll help where I can.

The plugin does not include support for the VLP-16 in its current state.
We have another project VeloView <https://github.com/Kitware/VeloView> that
builds a paraview plugin for VLP-16.  I have used this in combination with
the PCL plugin in the past, but the build is not straightforward at this
time.

This binary is ParaView with the pcl plugin built and packaged.  If you
download this it includes paraview and PCL.
