Detailed Description

template<typename PointT, typename PointNT>
class pcl::CovarianceSampling< PointT, PointNT >

Point Cloud sampling based on the 6D covariances.

It selects the points such that the resulting cloud is as stable as possible for being registered (against a copy of itself) with ICP. The algorithm adds points to the resulting cloud incrementally, while trying to keep all the 6 eigenvalues of the covariance matrix as close to each other as possible. This class also comes with the computeConditionNumber method that returns a number which shows how stable a point cloud will be when used as input for ICP (the closer the value it is to 1.0, the better).

Based on the following publication:

  • "Geometrically Stable Sampling for the ICP Algorithm" - N. Gelfand, L. Ikemoto, S. Rusinkiewicz, M. Levoy

computeConditionNumber() [1/2]

template<typename PointT , typename PointNT >
double pcl::CovarianceSampling< PointT, PointNT >::computeConditionNumber

Compute the condition number of the input point cloud.

Returns
the condition number
