Semantic_point_annotator paramters

Referencing this question from a long time ago without a direct answer: http://answers.ros.org/question/38960/semantic_point_annotator-parameter-explanation/

I am looking to use this package to remove the ground from a point-cloud generated by a Velodyne VPL-16. I have the package running and it will successfully remove the ground and publish the new point-cloud some of the time.

Without a basic explanation of what the parameters do though I am stuck to randomly changing values and observing results.

The code is here for reference: https://github.com/PR2/pr2_navigation/tree/hydro-devel/semantic_point_annotator Using Indigo on Ubuntu

Looks like there is at least some explanation of the parameters in the code here.

Other than that, the package is really old ((C) 2008) and I'm not sure there will be many members of this board who have ever used it.

That is true some one did go through a make a few catkin level changes to it with in a year. Any other suggestions on ways to remove the ground / robot from the point cloud? (Thanks for the response)
