The downsampling method is used to unify data size and reduce computational cost. Here, we implement two commonly used methods.
Random_downsample:
This function takes two arguments: a point cloud and the desired number of points after downsampling. It outputs a randomly selected downsampled point cloud.
Voxel_filter:
This function conducts voxel filtering on a provided point cloud. It has three arguments: the given point cloud, voxel size in three dimensions, and an optional boolean value that indicates whether to randomly select a point from each voxel as a representative or use the mean of all points in each voxel. The output is the downsampled point cloud, where each point serves as the representative point in its corresponding voxel.
