最近开始学习pcl，经过几天的捣鼓终于将pcl1.8.0和vs2013的环境搭建起来。
准备
pcl版本：PCL-1.8.0-AllInOne-msvc2013-win64
vs版本：vs2013
下载地址链接：https://pan.baidu.com/s/1MXGJFYQ_FIMAAP5ybXBc2A 密码：krj5
因为我的电脑是64位的，所以只有64位版本。
安装
vs2013下载解压默认安装就好了。
PCL整个安装过程需要注意以下三点，其它默认即可（我是安装在D盘）：
1. 安装路径最好不要包括中文；
2. 建议勾选上“Add PCL to the system PATH for all users”；
3. 安装时，会提示安装OpenNI，这个建议安装在PCL安装路径的3rdParty下的OpenNI2文件夹中。
安装完成之后将下载好的PCL-1.8.0-AllInOne-msvc2013-win64-pdb，pdb文件拷贝到PCL ROOT下的bin文件夹中，下图是拷贝后的样子
配置
我们打开vs2013新建一个c++控制台程序，选择空项目，去掉“预编译头（P）”前的勾，去掉“安全开发生命周期（SDL）检查(C)”前的勾，其它默认即可。
在进去之后我们可以看见调试器右边有一个Debug 和Win32，我们需要了解的是编译出的程序分成32位和64位，不同的位数需要不同的lib和dll才能编译出来，这就需要我们下载对应的pcl版本。不同的位数的程序分成Debug和Release，vs默认的是Debug。假若需要生产上面4中程序需要分别设置对应的项目属性表。
首先将属性管理器调出来
VS默认只生成32位的程序，32位的属性管理器中只有两项：Debug|Win32以及Release|Win32，
如果需要生成64的程序，方法如下：VS界面有个运行项，后面有个debug，在后面有个叫“解决方案平台”的下拉框，其值默认为win32，需要把win32，改成x64
下面我们就可以在属性管理器中进行属性表的配置。选中其中一项，右键点击“添加新项目属性表”，在弹出的对话框里设置好对应的属性表名和路径。确认之后，在该项中就会多出一项以刚才属性表名为名称的属性表。
注：下面配置的是Debugx64的属性表！！！
在新建的属性表里，有三个必须设置的重要项目:附加包含目录，附加库目录，附加依赖项。
1. 附加包含目录，其在项目属性“C/C++”子项的“常规”里下，主要用来设置库的头文件路径。这里设置好PCL及第三方库的头文件路径。
D:\PCL 1.8.0\include\pcl-1.8
D:\PCL 1.8.0\3rdParty\Boost\include\boost-1_59
D:\PCL 1.8.0\3rdParty\Eigen\eigen3
D:\PCL 1.8.0\3rdParty\FLANN\include
D:\PCL 1.8.0\3rdParty\OpenNI2\Include
D:\PCL 1.8.0\3rdParty\Qhull\include
D:\PCL 1.8.0\3rdParty\VTK\include\vtk-7.0
2. 附加库目录，其在项目属性的“连接器”子项的“常规”下，主要用来设置库的lib文件路径。这里设置好设置PCL及第三方库的lib文件路径。
D:\PCL 1.8.0\lib
D:\PCL 1.8.0\3rdParty\Boost\lib
D:\PCL 1.8.0\3rdParty\FLANN\lib
D:\PCL 1.8.0\3rdParty\OpenNI2\lib
D:\PCL 1.8.0\3rdParty\Qhull\lib
D:\PCL 1.8.0\3rdParty\VTK\lib
3. 附加依赖项，其在项目属性的“连接器”子项的“输入”下，主要用来设置编译所需的lib。这里设置好设置PCL及第三方库的lib文件名。
直接复制下面就可以。

vtkzlib-7.0.lib配置完属性表之后还需要配置dll。配置dll有四种方法，第一种，把dll拷贝到system32里去，第二种，把dll拷贝到编译出来的程序的文件中，第三种，直接配置到项目中。本文采用第四种方法，在系统的path中添加dll的路径。具体方法如下：
首先将打开控制面板\系统和安全\系统->高级系统设置->环境变量
修改path路径在后面添加下面的文字：
;%PCL_ROOT%\bin
;%PCL_ROOT%\3rdParty\Qhull\bin
;%PCL_ROOT%\3rdParty\FLANN\bin
;%PCL_ROOT%\3rdParty\VTK\bin
;%PCL_ROOT%\3rdParty\OpenNI2\Tools
这样环境就配置完成了。

//PCLVisualizer
//This will only get called once

//This will get called once per visualization iteration
viewer.runOnVisualizationThread(viewerPsycho);
while (!viewer.wasStopped())
{

}
return 0;
}可能会缺少test_cloud.pcd，造成没有点云显示，也无伤大雅。
最终的测试显示。
