Detailed Description

template<typename PointIn, typename PointOut>
class pcl::filters::Convolution< PointIn, PointOut >

Convolution is a mathematical operation on two functions f and g, producing a third function that is typically viewed as a modified version of one of the original functions.

see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convolution.

The class provides rows, column and separate convolving operations of a point cloud. Columns and separate convolution is only allowed on organised point clouds.

When convolving, computing the rows and cols elements at 1/2 kernel width distance from the borders is not defined. We allow for 3 policies:

◆ setDistanceThreshold()

template<typename PointIn , typename PointOut >
void pcl::filters::Convolution< PointIn, PointOut >::setDistanceThreshold ( const float &  threshold)
inline
Remarks
this is critical so please read it carefully. In 3D the next point in (u,v) coordinate can be really far so a distance threshold is used to keep us from ghost points. The value you set here is strongly related to the sensor. A good value for kinect data is 0.001. Default is std::numeric<float>::infinity ()
Parameters
[in]thresholdmaximum allowed distance between 2 juxtaposed points
