Detailed Description

template<typename PointT>
class pcl::MaximumLikelihoodSampleConsensus< PointT >

MaximumLikelihoodSampleConsensus represents an implementation of the MLESAC (Maximum Likelihood Estimator SAmple Consensus) algorithm, as described in: "MLESAC: A new robust estimator with application to estimating image geometry", P.H.S.

Torr and A. Zisserman, Computer Vision and Image Understanding, vol 78, 2000.

Note
MLESAC is useful in situations where most of the data samples belong to the model, and a fast outlier rejection algorithm is needed.
