Re: [ros-users] filtering order for PCL functions

Nope, no optimal ordering that I could think of. :) It's all based on what you want to do.

For example, VoxelGrid downsamples data + makes it a tiny bit more uniform so you have less to work with. PassThrough
and VoxelGrid can filter data on a particular dimension which again, leaves you with less data to work with... etc.

It's like LEGO: you connect the filters in one way and you get one result, connect them in another way, you might get
something different.

Cheers,
Radu.
