Hi there,
I added some typedefs to the PointCloud class, which should enable it to be used with more stl algorithms. This patch originates in the following pcl-users thread where sb. wanted to copy the fields of a point cloud A into a point cloud C, but only if the xyz value was in a point cloud B.
Instead of doing that manually in a loop I thought why not use stl methods for that, specifically set_intersection. There I ran into compilation problems originating in these missing typedefs. With this patch, the example compiles and works as expected.
Best,
Stefan
