Detailed Description

template<typename PointInT, typename PointNT, typename PointOutT>
class pcl::BoundaryEstimation< PointInT, PointNT, PointOutT >

BoundaryEstimation estimates whether a set of points is lying on surface boundaries using an angle criterion. The code makes use of the estimated surface normals at each point in the input dataset.

Here's an example for estimating boundary points for a PointXYZ point cloud:

Attention:
The convention for Boundary features is:
  • if a query point's nearest neighbors cannot be estimated, the boundary feature will be set to NaN (not a number)
  • it is impossible to estimate a boundary property for a point that doesn't have finite 3D coordinates. Therefore, any point that contains NaN data on x, y, or z, will have its boundary feature property set to NaN.
