 * laser scanner) or in the 3D space (e.g. a camera). There are
 *  two direction angles: yaw (azimuth) and pitch (negative elevation). For 2D
 * sensors, the pitch must be always set to 0.
 * See CObservationBearingRange::validCovariances for the instructions to fill
 * the uncertainty covariances.
