  /** \brief VFHEstimation estimates the <b>Viewpoint Feature Histogram (VFH)</b> descriptor for a given point cloud
    * dataset containing points and normals. The default VFH implementation uses 45 binning subdivisions for each of
    * the three extended FPFH values, plus another 45 binning subdivisions for the distances between each point and
    * the centroid and 128 binning subdivisions for the viewpoint component, which results in a
    * 308-byte array of float values. These are stored in a pcl::VFHSignature308 point type.
    * A major difference between the PFH/FPFH descriptors and VFH, is that for a given point cloud dataset, only a
    * single VFH descriptor will be estimated (vfhs->size() should be 1), while the resultant PFH/FPFH data
    * will have the same number of entries as the number of points in the cloud.
