Is it possible to obtain X,Y,Z coordinates/raw data of Vertices/PointCloud?

[EFoo]

Hello there,

I am pretty new to programming, and I am "forced" to use the Intel Realsense D435 for some project in my company haha! Even creating a new project together with the SDK was challenging for me..

Are there any pointers on getting the X,Y,Z data for the Vertices in say a Excel format? Hoping to get these data for some depth comparisons and calculations.

Any advise is appreiciated, thank you very very much in advance!

RealSense's SDK Manager, Dorodnic, has suggested using the SDK's point cloud example program to a user with a similar question, as "the output of pointcloud object is a collection of {x,y,z} coordinates in the real world. You can also calculate these yourself using SDK helper functions under rsutil.h".

Another option for getting an Excel-friendly format more easily may be using the pre-made RealSense Viewer tool to record the stream as a 'bag' file in its 2D mode and then use the SDK's Convert tool to convert the bag into a csv format file. CSV is a tabulated data format suitable for databases and spreadsheets.
