Detailed Description

template<typename PointInT, typename PointOutT>
class pcl::Feature< PointInT, PointOutT >

Feature represents the base feature class.

Some generic 3D operations that are applicable to all features are defined here as static methods.

Attention
The convention for a feature descriptor is:
  • if the nearest neighbors for the query point at which the descriptor is to be computed cannot be determined, the descriptor values will be set to NaN (not a number)
  • it is impossible to estimate a feature descriptor for a point that doesn't have finite 3D coordinates. Therefore, any point that has NaN data on x, y, or z, will most likely have its descriptor set to NaN.
