47  /** \brief BoundaryEstimation estimates whether a set of points is lying on surface boundaries using an angle
48  * criterion. The code makes use of the estimated surface normals at each point in the input dataset.
49  *
50  * Here's an example for estimating boundary points for a PointXYZ point cloud:
51  * \code
52  * pcl::PointCloud<pcl::PointXYZ>::Ptr cloud (new pcl::PointCloud<pcl::PointXYZ>);
53  * // fill in the cloud data here
54  *
55  * pcl::PointCloud<pcl::Normal>::Ptr normals (new pcl::PointCloud<pcl::Normal>);
56  * // estimate normals and fill in \a normals
57  *
58  * pcl::PointCloud<pcl::Boundary> boundaries;
59  * pcl::BoundaryEstimation<pcl::PointXYZ, pcl::Normal, pcl::Boundary> est;
60  * est.setInputCloud (cloud);
61  * est.setInputNormals (normals);
62  * est.setRadiusSearch (0.02); // 2cm radius
63  * est.setSearchMethod (typename pcl::search::KdTree<PointXYZ>::Ptr (new pcl::search::KdTree<PointXYZ>)
64  * est.compute (boundaries);
65  * \endcode
66  *
67  * \attention
68  * The convention for Boundary features is:
69  * - if a query point's nearest neighbors cannot be estimated, the boundary feature will be set to NaN
70  * (not a number)
71  * - it is impossible to estimate a boundary property for a point that
72  * doesn't have finite 3D coordinates. Therefore, any point that contains
73  * NaN data on x, y, or z, will have its boundary feature property set to NaN.
