Detailed Description

template<typename PointInT, typename PointNT, typename PointOutT = pcl::PrincipalCurvatures>
class pcl::PrincipalCurvaturesEstimation< PointInT, PointNT, PointOutT >

PrincipalCurvaturesEstimation estimates the directions (eigenvectors) and magnitudes (eigenvalues) of principal surface curvatures for a given point cloud dataset containing points and normals.

The recommended PointOutT is pcl::PrincipalCurvatures.

Note: The code is stateful as we do not expect this class to be multicore parallelized. Please look at NormalEstimationOMP for an example on how to extend this to parallel implementations.
