Detailed Description

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

StatisticalOutlierRemoval uses point neighborhood statistics to filter outlier data.

The algorithm iterates through the entire input twice: During the first iteration it will compute the average distance that each point has to its nearest k neighbors. The value of k can be set using setMeanK(). Next, the mean and standard deviation of all these distances are computed in order to determine a distance threshold. The distance threshold will be equal to: mean + stddev_mult * stddev. The multiplier for the standard deviation can be set using setStddevMulThresh(). During the next iteration the points will be classified as inlier or outlier if their average neighbor distance is below or above this threshold respectively.
The neighbors found for each query point will be found amongst ALL points of setInputCloud(), not just those indexed by setIndices(). The setIndices() method only indexes the points that will be iterated through as search query points.
