  /** A generic class that computes the centroid of points fed to it.
    *
    * Here by "centroid" we denote not just the mean of 3D point coordinates,
    * but also mean of values in the other data fields. The general-purpose
    * \ref computeNDCentroid() function also implements this sort of
    * functionality, however it does it in a "dumb" way, i.e. regardless of the
    * semantics of the data inside a field it simply averages the values. In
    * certain cases (e.g. for \c x, \c y, \c z, \c intensity fields) this
    * behavior is reasonable, however in other cases (e.g. \c rgb, \c rgba,
    * \c label fields) this does not lead to meaningful results.
    *
    * This class is capable of computing the centroid in a "smart" way, i.e.
    * taking into account the meaning of the data inside fields. Currently the
    * following fields are supported:
    *
    *  Data      | Point fields                          | Algorithm
    *  --------- | ------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    *  XYZ       | \c x, \c y, \c z                      | Average (separate for each field)
    *  Normal    | \c normal_x, \c normal_y, \c normal_z | Average (separate for each field), resulting vector is normalized
    *  Curvature | \c curvature                          | Average
    *  Color     | \c rgb or \c rgba                     | Average (separate for R, G, B, and alpha channels)
    *  Intensity | \c intensity                          | Average
    *  Label     | \c label                              | Majority vote; if several labels have the same largest support then the  smaller label wins
    *
    * The template parameter defines the type of points that may be accumulated
    * with this class. This may be an arbitrary PCL point type, and centroid
    * computation will happen only for the fields that are present in it and are
    * supported.
    *
    * Current centroid may be retrieved at any time using get(). Note that the
    * function is templated on point type, so it is possible to fetch the
    * centroid into a point type that differs from the type of points that are
    * being accumulated. All the "extra" fields for which the centroid is not
    * being calculated will be left untouched.
    *
    * Example usage:
    *
    * \code
    * // Create and accumulate points
    * CentroidPoint<pcl::PointXYZ> centroid;
    * centroid.add (pcl::PointXYZ (1, 2, 3);
    * centroid.add (pcl::PointXYZ (5, 6, 7);
    * // Fetch centroid using `get()`
    * pcl::PointXYZ c1;
    * centroid.get (c1);
    * // The expected result is: c1.x == 3, c1.y == 4, c1.z == 5
    * // It is also okay to use `get()` with a different point type
    * pcl::PointXYZRGB c2;
    * centroid.get (c2);
    * // The expected result is: c2.x == 3, c2.y == 4, c2.z == 5,
    * // and c2.rgb is left untouched
    * \endcode
    *
    * \note Assumes that the points being inserted are valid.
    *
    * \note This class template can be successfully instantiated for *any*
    * PCL point type. Of course, each of the field averages is computed only if
    * the point type has the corresponding field.
