FitLineToPoints3D_M

Approximates points in 3D with a line using selected M-estimator for outlier suppression.

Applications: Finding a locally optimal line in 3D. Good enough when the number of outliers is small.

Syntax

void fil::FitLineToPoints3D_M
(
	const ftl::Array<fil::Point3D>& inPoints,
	fil::MEstimator::Type inOutlierSuppression,
	float inClippingFactor,
	int inIterationCount,
	ftl::Optional<const fil::Line3D&> inInitialLine,
	fil::Line3D& outLine,
	ftl::Optional<ftl::Array<fil::Point3D>&> outInliers = ftl::NIL
)

Parameters

	Name	Type	Range	Default	Description
	inPoints	const Array<Point3D>&
	inOutlierSuppression	MEstimator::Type
	inClippingFactor	float	0.675 - 6.0	2.5f	Multitude of standard deviation within which points are considered inliers
	inIterationCount	int	0 -	5	Number of iterations of outlier suppressing algorithm
	inInitialLine	Optional<const Line3D&>		NIL	Initial approximation (if available)
	outLine	Line3D&
	outInliers	Optional<Array<Point3D>&>		NIL	Points matching the computed line

Optional Outputs

The computation of following outputs can be switched off by passing value ftl::NIL to these parameters: outInliers.
