PCD (Point Cloud Data) Feature Representation

In addition to the generic FME feature attributes that FME Workbench adds to all features (see About Feature Type Attributes), this format also adds format-specific attributes (Format Attributes).

Attribute Name	Contents
pcd_type	This will always be pcd_point_cloud.
pcd_file_format	The data format (ascii, binary, or compressed_binary). The value set in this attribute will take precedence over the setting in the Output PCD Format writer parameter.
pcd_version	The PCD version as specified in the header of the file.
