My goal is to visualize a point cloud using PCL. This is possible according to their official tutorial (link). In the tutorial there is an include path pointing to cloud_viewer.h file (located under visualization folder). After a vcpkg install using "vcpkg install pcl:x64-windows" I couldn’t find the visualization folder. After some research it I found out that "visualization" does not come with default PCL install, but it is an optional feature (link). Then I used the "vcpkg install pcl[vtk]:x64-windows --featurepackages" and I am still missing the needed folder. If anyone could point out to me where am I making a mistake I would appreciate it.

I got the same problem with you. It seems vcpkg is not a good choice for pcl library. Many people have the same problem with visualization module

Is there an alternative setup for PCL (other than vcpkg)? – Johnny Doerman Apr 30 '21 at 10:19

Using vcpkg does not provide all files, includes and headers for pcl. I had the same issue, and downloading pcl all in one solved it. You can find it here for example: http://unanancyowen.com/en/pcl181/ Other thing that can help, is to use this command on vcpkg:
.\vcpkg install pcl:x64-windows-static
