# pcl\_boundary\_estimation(1)

pcl\_boundary\_estimation

## NAME

pcl\_boundary\_estimation - pcl\_boundary\_estimation

## DESCRIPTION

Syntax is: pcl\_boundary\_estimation input.pcd output.pcd \<options\>

Estimate boundary points using pcl::BoundaryEstimation. For more information, use: pcl\_boundary\_estimation **-h**

  where options are:

   **-radius** X = use a radius of Xm around each point to determine the neighborhood (default: 0.000000)

   **-k** X      = use a fixed number of X-nearest neighbors around each point (default: 0)

    **-thresh** X = the decision boundary (angle threshold) that marks points as boundary or regular (default: 1.570796)
