Description

Just saw this as Clang warns: variable 'threshold' set but not used within the method compare. It seems depth_dependent_ is always true, but could be modified via the optional parameter in setDistanceThreshold. So not sure if should just remove the code or do something more with this variable.

Research direction

Locate GroundPlaneComparator::compare and setDistanceThreshold, then trace how threshold and depth_dependent_ are intended to interact. Confirm the intended behavior for the optional parameter and ensure the unused-variable warning is resolved without changing valid segmentation behavior.
