  /** \brief PointCloud represents the base class in PCL for storing collections of 3D points.
    *
    * The class is templated, which means you need to specify the type of data
    * that it should contain. For example, to create a point cloud that holds 4
    * random XYZ data points, use:
    *
    * \code
    * pcl::PointCloud<pcl::PointXYZ> cloud;
    * cloud.push_back (pcl::PointXYZ (rand (), rand (), rand ()));
    * cloud.push_back (pcl::PointXYZ (rand (), rand (), rand ()));
    * cloud.push_back (pcl::PointXYZ (rand (), rand (), rand ()));
    * cloud.push_back (pcl::PointXYZ (rand (), rand (), rand ()));
    * \endcode
    *
    * The PointCloud class contains the following elements:
    *   - \b width - specifies the width of the point cloud dataset in the number of points. WIDTH has two meanings:
    *     - it can specify the total number of points in the cloud (equal with POINTS see below) for unorganized datasets;
    *     - it can specify the width (total number of points in a row) of an organized point cloud dataset.
    *   \a Mandatory.
    *   - \b height - specifies the height of the point cloud dataset in the number of points. HEIGHT has two meanings:
    *     - it can specify the height (total number of rows) of an organized point cloud dataset;
    *     - it is set to 1 for unorganized datasets (thus used to check whether a dataset is organized or not).
    *   \a Mandatory.
    *   - \b points - the data array where all points of type <b>PointT</b> are stored. \a Mandatory.
    *
    *   - \b is_dense - specifies if all the data in <b>points</b> is finite (true), or whether it might contain Inf/NaN values
    * (false). \a Mandatory.
    *
    *   - \b sensor_origin_ - specifies the sensor acquisition pose (origin/translation). \a Optional.
    *   - \b sensor_orientation_ - specifies the sensor acquisition pose (rotation). \a Optional.
