template<typename real >

bool pcl::PolynomialCalculationsT< real >::bivariatePolynomialApproximation	(	std::vector< Eigen::Matrix< real, 3, 1 > > &	samplePoints,
		unsigned int	polynomial_degree,
		pcl::BivariatePolynomialT< real > &	ret
	)			const [inline]

Same as above, using a reference for the return value.

pcl::BivariatePolynomialT< real > pcl::PolynomialCalculationsT< real >::bivariatePolynomialApproximation	(	std::vector< Eigen::Matrix< real, 3, 1 > > &	samplePoints,
		unsigned int	polynomial_degree,
		bool &	error
	)			const [inline]

Get the bivariate polynomial approximation for Z(X,Y) from the given sample points. The parameters a,b,c,... for the polynom are returned. The order is, e.g., for degree 1: ax+by+c and for degree 2: ax²+bxy+cx+dy²+ey+f. error is set to true if the approximation did not work for any reason (not enough points, matrix not invertible, etc.)
