Detailed Description

template<typename PointT>
class pcl::search::Search< PointT >

Generic search class.

All search wrappers must inherit from this.

Each search method must implement 2 different types of search:

The input to each search method can be given in 3 different ways:

For the latter option, it is assumed that the user specified the input via a setInputCloud () method first.

Note
In case of an error, all methods are supposed to return 0 as the number of neighbors found.
libpcl_search deals with three-dimensional search problems. For higher level dimensional search, please refer to the libpcl_kdtree module.

int  k,
std::vector< Indices > &  k_indices,
std::vector< std::vector< float > > &  k_sqr_distances 
) const
inline

Search for the k-nearest neighbors for the given query point.

Use this method if the query points are of a different type than the points in the data set (e.g. PointXYZRGBA instead of PointXYZ).

Parameters
[in]cloudthe point cloud data
[in]indicesa vector of point cloud indices to query for nearest neighbors
[in]kthe number of neighbors to search for
[out]k_indicesthe resultant indices of the neighboring points, k_indices[i] corresponds to the neighbors of the query point i
[out]k_sqr_distancesthe resultant squared distances to the neighboring points, k_sqr_distances[i] corresponds to the neighbors of the query point i
Note
This method copies the input point cloud of type PointTDiff to a temporary cloud of type PointT and performs the batch search on the new cloud. You should prefer the single-point search if you don't use a search algorithm that accelerates batch NN search.
