Detailed Description

template<>
class pcl::VoxelGrid< sensor_msgs::PointCloud2 >

VoxelGrid assembles a local 3D grid over a given PointCloud, and downsamples + filters the data.

The VoxelGrid class creates a *3D voxel grid* (think about a voxel grid as a set of tiny 3D boxes in space) over the input point cloud data. Then, in each *voxel* (i.e., 3D box), all the points present will be approximated (i.e., *downsampled*) with their centroid. This approach is a bit slower than approximating them with the center of the voxel, but it represents the underlying surface more accurately.
