# pcl\_spin\_estimation(1)

pcl\_spin\_estimation

## NAME

pcl\_spin\_estimation - pcl\_spin\_estimation

## DESCRIPTION

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

Estimate spin-image descriptors using pcl::SpinEstimation. For more information, use: pcl\_spin\_estimation **-h**

  where options are:

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

 **-width** X = resolution (width) of a spin-image (default: 8)

 **-suppangle** X  = min cosine of support angle for filtering points by normals (default: 0.500000)

 **-neigh** X = min number of neighbours to compute a spin-image (default: 1)

 **-radial**   = toggles radial structure of a spin-image (default: false)

 **-angular**  = toggles angular domain of a spin-image (default: false)
