/** An especial "ellipsoid" in 3D computed as the uncertainty iso-surfaces of a
 * (inv_range,yaw,pitch) variable.
  *  The parameter space of this ellipsoid comprises these variables (in this
 * order):
  *   - inv_range: The inverse distance from the sensor to the feature.
  *   - yaw: Angle for the rotation around +Z ("azimuth").
  *   - pitch: Angle for the rotation around +Y ("elevation"). Positive means
 * pointing below the XY plane.
  *
  *  This parameterization is based on the paper:
  *   - Civera, J. and Davison, A.J. and Montiel, J., "Inverse depth
 * parametrization for monocular SLAM", T-RO, 2008.
  *
  *  This class expects you to provide a mean vector of length 3 and a 3x3
 * covariance matrix, set with \a setCovMatrixAndMean().
  *
  * Please read the documentation of
 * CGeneralizedEllipsoidTemplate::setQuantiles() for learning
  *  the mathematical details about setting the desired confidence interval.
