Detailed Description

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

Principal Component analysis (PCA) class.

Principal components are extracted by singular values decomposition on the covariance matrix of the centered input cloud. Available data after pca computation are:

The Mean of the input data
The Eigenvectors: Ordered set of vectors representing the resultant principal components and the eigenspace cartesian basis (right-handed coordinate system).
The Eigenvalues: Eigenvectors correspondent loadings ordered in descending order.

Other methods allow projection in the eigenspace, reconstruction from eigenspace and update of the eigenspace with a new datum (according Matej Artec, Matjaz Jogan and Ales Leonardis: "Incremental PCA for On-line Visual Learning and Recognition").

getEigenValues()

template<typename PointT >

Eigen::Vector3f& pcl::PCA< PointT >::getEigenValues ( )

initCompute()

template<typename PointT >

bool pcl::PCLBase< PointT >::initCompute

This method should get called before starting the actual computation.

Internally, initCompute() does the following:

checks if an input dataset is given, and returns false otherwise
checks whether a set of input indices has been given. Returns true if yes.
if no input indices have been given, a fake set is created, which will be used until:
- either a new set is given via setIndices(), or
- a new cloud is given that has a different set of points. This will trigger an update on the set of fake indices
