FitPlaneToSurface_M

Approximates points of the input surface with a plane using selected M-estimator for outlier suppression.

outSquaredDistances	Real Array		Squared distances of the input points to a resulting plane
outSquaredDistanceSum	Real		Sum of squared distances of the input points to a resulting plane

Finding a locally optimal plane. Good enough when the number of outliers is small.
