Detailed Description

Perform Random Sample Consensus (RANSAC), a robust fitting method.

The concept is to select (minimal) subsets of the samples for learning a model, then determining the error on the entire data set, and selecting the best fit. In determining the error, the individual sample errors are capped, so that outliers can be identified and have only a modest influence on the results.
