        /** Declares a class derived from "CObservation" that encapsules a 3D range scan measurement, as from a time-of-flight range camera or any other RGBD sensor.
         *
         *  This kind of observations can carry one or more of these data fields:
         *    - 3D point cloud (as float's).
         *    - Each 3D point has its associated (u,v) pixel coordinates in \a points3D_idxs_x & \a points3D_idxs_y (New in MRPT 1.4.0)
         *    - 2D range image (as a matrix): Each entry in the matrix "rangeImage(ROW,COLUMN)" contains a distance or a depth (in meters), depending on \a range_is_depth.
         *    - 2D intensity (grayscale or RGB) image (as a mrpt::utils::CImage): For SwissRanger cameras, a logarithmic A-law compression is used to convert the original 16bit intensity to a more standard 8bit graylevel.
         *    - 2D confidence image (as a mrpt::utils::CImage): For each pixel, a 0x00 and a 0xFF mean the lowest and highest confidence levels, respectively.
         *    - Semantic labels: Stored as a matrix of bitfields, each bit having a user-defined meaning.
         *
         *  The coordinates of the 3D point cloud are in meters with respect to the depth camera origin of coordinates
         *    (in SwissRanger, the front face of the camera: a small offset ~1cm in front of the physical focal point),
         *    with the +X axis pointing forward, +Y pointing left-hand and +Z pointing up. By convention, a 3D point with its coordinates set to (0,0,0), will be considered as invalid.
         *  The field CObservation3DRangeScan::relativePoseIntensityWRTDepth describes the change of coordinates from
         *    the depth camera to the intensity (RGB or grayscale) camera. In a SwissRanger camera both cameras coincide,
         *    so this pose is just a rotation (0,0,0,-90deg,0,-90deg). But in
         *    Microsoft Kinect there is also an offset, as shown in this figure:
         *
         *  <div align=center>
         *   <img src="CObservation3DRangeScan_figRefSystem.png">
         *  </div>
         *
         *  In any case, check the field \a relativePoseIntensityWRTDepth, or the method \a doDepthAndIntensityCamerasCoincide()
         *    to determine if both frames of reference coincide, since even for Kinect cameras both can coincide if the images
         *    have been rectified.
         *
         *  The 2D images and matrices are stored as common images, with an up->down rows order and left->right, as usual.
         *   Optionally, the intensity and confidence channels can be set to delayed-load images for off-rawlog storage so it saves
         *   memory by having loaded in memory just the needed images. See the methods load() and unload().
         *  Due to the intensive storage requirements of this kind of observations, this observation is the only one in MRPT
         *   for which it's recommended to always call "load()" and "unload()" before and after using the observation, *ONLY* when
         *   the observation was read from a rawlog dataset, in order to make sure that all the externally stored data fields are
         *   loaded and ready in memory.
         *
         *  Classes that grab observations of this type are:
         *              - mrpt::hwdrivers::CSwissRanger3DCamera
         *              - mrpt::hwdrivers::CKinect
         *              - mrpt::hwdrivers::COpenNI2Sensor
         *
         *  There are two sets of calibration parameters (see mrpt::vision::checkerBoardStereoCalibration() or the ready-to-use GUI program <a href="http://www.mrpt.org/Application:kinect-calibrate" >kinect-calibrate</a>):
         *              - cameraParams: Projection parameters of the depth camera.
         *              - cameraParamsIntensity: Projection parameters of the intensity (gray-level or RGB) camera.
         *
         *  In some cameras, like SwissRanger, both are the same. It is possible in Kinect to rectify the range images such both cameras
         *   seem to coincide and then both sets of camera parameters will be identical.
         *
         *  Range data can be interpreted in two different ways depending on the 3D camera (this field is already set to the
         *    correct setting when grabbing observations from an mrpt::hwdrivers sensor):
         *              - range_is_depth=true  -> Kinect-like ranges: entries of \a rangeImage are distances along the +X axis
         *              - range_is_depth=false -> Ranges in \a rangeImage are actual distances in 3D.
         *
         *  The "intensity" channel may come from different channels in sesnsors as Kinect. Look at field \a intensityImageChannel to
         *    find out if the image was grabbed from the visible (RGB) or IR channels.
         *
         *  3D point clouds can be generated at any moment after grabbing with CObservation3DRangeScan::project3DPointsFromDepthImage() and CObservation3DRangeScan::project3DPointsFromDepthImageInto(), provided the correct
         *   calibration parameters. Note that project3DPointsFromDepthImage() will store the point cloud in sensor-centric local coordinates. Use project3DPointsFromDepthImageInto() to directly obtain vehicle or world coordinates.
         *
         *  Example of how to assign labels to pixels (for object segmentation, semantic information, etc.):
         *
         * \code
         *   // Assume obs of type CObservation3DRangeScanPtr
         *   obs->pixelLabels = CObservation3DRangeScan::TPixelLabelInfoPtr( new CObservation3DRangeScan::TPixelLabelInfo<NUM_BYTES>() );
         *   obs->pixelLabels->setSize(ROWS,COLS);
         *   obs->pixelLabels->setLabel(col,row, label_idx);   // label_idxs = [0,2^NUM_BYTES-1]
         *   //...
         * \endcode
         *
         *  \note Starting at serialization version 2 (MRPT 0.9.1+), the confidence channel is stored as an image instead of a matrix to optimize memory and disk space.
         *  \note Starting at serialization version 3 (MRPT 0.9.1+), the 3D point cloud and the rangeImage can both be stored externally to save rawlog space.
         *  \note Starting at serialization version 5 (MRPT 0.9.5+), the new field \a range_is_depth
         *  \note Starting at serialization version 6 (MRPT 0.9.5+), the new field \a intensityImageChannel
         *  \note Starting at serialization version 7 (MRPT 1.3.1+), new fields for semantic labeling
         *  \note Since MRPT 1.5.0, external files format can be selected at runtime with `CObservation3DRangeScan::EXTERNALS_AS_TEXT`
