/** \brief @b ConvergenceCriteria represents an abstract base class for
 * different convergence criteria used in registration loops.
 *
 * This should be used as part of an Iterative Closest Point (ICP)-like
 * method, to verify if the algorithm has reached convergence.
 *
 * Typical convergence criteria that could inherit from this include:
 *
 *  * a maximum number of iterations has been reached
 *  * the transformation (R, t) cannot be further updated (the difference between
 * current and previous is smaller than a threshold)
 *  * the Mean Squared Error (MSE) between the current set of correspondences and the
 * previous one is smaller than some threshold
