  /** \brief BoundaryEstimation estimates whether a set of points is lying on surface boundaries using an angle
    * criterion. The code makes use of the estimated surface normals at each point in the input dataset.
    *
    * Here's an example for estimating boundary points for a PointXYZ point cloud:
    * \code
    * pcl::PointCloud<pcl::PointXYZ>::Ptr cloud (new pcl::PointCloud<pcl::PointXYZ>);
    * // fill in the cloud data here
    * 
    * pcl::PointCloud<pcl::Normal>::Ptr normals (new pcl::PointCloud<pcl::Normal>);
    * // estimate normals and fill in \a normals
    *
    * pcl::PointCloud<pcl::Boundary> boundaries;
    * pcl::BoundaryEstimation<pcl::PointXYZ, pcl::Normal, pcl::Boundary> est;
    * est.setInputCloud (cloud);
    * est.setInputNormals (normals);
    * est.setRadiusSearch (0.02);   // 2cm radius
    * est.setSearchMethod (typename pcl::search::KdTree<PointXYZ>::Ptr (new pcl::search::KdTree<PointXYZ>)
    * est.compute (boundaries);
    * \endcode
    *
    * \attention 
    * The convention for Boundary features is:
    *   - if a query point's nearest neighbors cannot be estimated, the boundary feature will be set to NaN 
    *     (not a number)
    *   - it is impossible to estimate a boundary property for a point that
    *     doesn't have finite 3D coordinates. Therefore, any point that contains
    *     NaN data on x, y, or z, will have its boundary feature property set to NaN.
