Viewpoint Feature Histogram.
I am trying to use following code to generate VFH signature, but for each run it produces different value. For example: Output:
1st run-> Signature:0000000000DC1E80
2nd run-> Signature:0000000000EB1E80
3rd run-> Signature:0000000002A71E80
why it produces different signature for each run?
#include <pcl/io/io.h>

pcl::PointCloud<pcl::PointXYZ> cloud;
//pcl::PointCloud<pcl::PointXYZ>::Ptr cloud (new pcl::PointCloud<pcl::PointXYZ>);
// Fill in the cloud data
cloud.width = 5;
cloud.height = 1;
cloud.is_dense = false;
cloud.points.resize (cloud.width * cloud.height);
int x_i=1,y_i=2,z_i=3;
for (size_t i = 0; i < cloud.points.size (); ++i)

/*cloud.points[i].x = 1024 * rand () / (RAND_MAX + 1.0f);

cloud.points[i].x = 0.1+x_i;
cloud.points[i].y = 0.2+y_i;
