Detailed Description

template<typename PointInT, typename PointNT>
class pcl::BoundaryEstimation< PointInT, PointNT, Eigen::MatrixXf >

BoundaryEstimation estimates whether a set of points is lying on surface boundaries using an angle criterion.

The code makes use of the estimated surface normals at each point in the input dataset.

Attention:

The convention for Boundary features is:

if a query point's nearest neighbors cannot be estimated, the boundary feature property will be set to NaN (not a number)
it is impossible to estimate a boundary property for a point that doesn't have finite 3D coordinates. Therefore, any point that contains NaN data on x, y, or z, will have its boundary feature property set to NaN.
