Detailed Description

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

MEstimatorSampleConsensus represents an implementation of the MSAC (M-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. The difference to RANSAC is how the quality of a model is computed: RANSAC counts the number of inliers, given a threshold. The more inliers, the better the model is - it does not matter how close the inliers actually are to the model, as long as they are within the threshold. MSAC changes this by using the sum of all point-model distances as the quality measure, however outliers only add the threshold instead of their true distance. This method can lead to better results compared to RANSAC.
