     * @brief Geometric structure of a 3D voxel grid.
     *
     * The grid structure is defined by the voxel size(s) and grid size(s).
     * The voxel size (R^3) is the extent of a single voxel along each
     * axis (x, y, z). (Cubic voxels have constant extent along all axes).
     * The grid size (N^3) is the number of voxels along each axis.
     * (Cubic grids have constant number of voxels along all axes.)
     *
     * In addition, the voxel grid can have a pose, i.e. position and orientation.
     *
     * The total number of voxels to be contained in a structure is the
     * product of the grid size coefficients.
     *
     *
     * @par Grid Size and Voxel Index
     *
     * To indicate a voxel, one can use either of:
     * - a grid index i = (i_x i_y i_z) in Z^3  (Eigen::Vector3i)
     * - a flat index j in N^1                  (std::size_t)
     *
     * A grid index specifies the voxel index along each axis. A flat index
     * specifies a voxel's running index (from 0 to #voxels - 1).
     *
     * Each coefficient of a grid index is in the range
     *  `[ - gridSize/2, gridSize/2 )`
     * More precisely, it is in the set
     *  `{ - floor(gridSize/2), ..., 0, ..., ceil(gridSize/2) - 1 }`
     *
     * In other words,
     * - for an ODD  grid size: [ - floor(gridSize/2), floor(gridSize/2)    ]
     * - for an EVEN grid size: [ -       gridSize/2 ,       gridSize/2 - 1 ]
     *
     * For example (along one axis):
     *
     * | Grid Size |  Valid grid indices      |
     * +-----------+--------------------------+
     * |     3     |  { -1,  0,  1 }          |
     * |     4     |  { -2, -1,  0,  1 }      |
     * |     5     |  { -2, -1,  0,  1,  2 }  |
     *
     * Note that grid indices are centered around zero and can be negative.
     * A flat index is always non-negative.
     *
     *
     * @par Voxel Grid Origin
     *
     * The grid origin coincides with the center of voxel (0 0 0) and can be
     * chosen freely upon construction. It differs from the grid center in
     * axes with even grid size.
     *
