I think the sensor acquisition pose is so important that it can tell where the view point is when the data is acquired and how the objects could be occluded. However, I found this information is lost after calling pcl::transformPointCloud, which is just copying the previous pose. I am curious about the reasons behind this code and would like to know the possibility of always keeping this information with the point cloud data.
