Detailed Description

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

GroundPlaneComparator is a Comparator for detecting smooth surfaces suitable for driving.

In conjunction with OrganizedConnectedComponentSegmentation, this allows smooth groundplanes / road surfaces to be segmented from point clouds.
