Detailed Description

NormalEstimation estimates local surface properties at each 3D point, such as surface normals and curvatures.

Note:

The code is stateful as we do not expect this class to be multicore parallelized. Please look at NormalEstimationOpenMP and NormalEstimationTBB for parallel implementations.
