What have you tried so far?

i had a subscriber to visualize kitti /kitti/velo/pointcloud topic, i have applied a statistical filter to filter the point cloud and i used voxel grid for down sampling, i want to save the hole point cloud map in a pcd file.

I don't think that would necessarily create a map of the entire rosbag's raw data? See my answer below.

@ilyess, I would go with LOAM (it got 2nd on the KITTI odometry / SLAM evaluation).

If you use the velo_64 branch ( https://github.com/vkee/loam_velodyne... ), it should work out of the box and you'll get a low drift map!

You should be able to use this function ( http://docs.pointclouds.org/trunk/gro... ) to save the pcl Point Cloud as a PCD file.

i believe these functions can only save only one capture at the time of map but not the hole map.

You can use something like this function ( http://docs.pointclouds.org/trunk/cla... ) to add all the clouds together into one cloud and then save that as a PCD.
