[Live-demo] [OSGeo-Discuss] Open Perception announced!

[Cameron Shorter]

Radu,
Based upon your description, I suspect that PCL does not quite fit our 
selection category.

Ideally we would be looking to see the geospatial department of an 
established, risk adverse organisation using PCL are a core part of the 
geospatial analysis.

 From what I'm seeing from your description, it seems that while 
geospatial applications might make use of PCL and PCL outputs, PCL is 
not a geospatial application in its own right.

Thanks for the conversation, and feel free to get back to me if I've 
mis-understood.
