## Purpose

This sample program demonstrates how to:

- Generate a mesh from a point cloud.

## Code highlights

For example, use the image `Sample Images/3D/Easy3DMatch/Align/object 1/object1_top_ensenso.ply`.

1. Set the reference plane on which we project the point cloud to generate a mesh.
   ```c++
   converter.ProjectionPlane = refPlane;
   ```
2. Converts the point cloud to a mesh.
   ```c++
   converter.Convert(pointCloud_, generatedMesh_);
   ```
