PFH(Point Feature Histograms)
表面法线和曲率估计是某个点周围的几何特征表示法,计算速度快,但无法获得太多信息,因为它只是通过使用很少的几个参数值来近似表示一个点K的邻域的几何特性。 通过点特征直方图可以提供一个可度量的信息空间,详细可查看论文:Persistent Point Feature Histograms for 3D Point Clouds.

// Compute the features
pfh.compute (*pfhs);
// pfhs->points.size () should have the same size as the input cloud->points.size ()*
