+/**
+   \ingroup PkgPointSetProcessing3Algorithms
+   Performs poisson disk elimination with a desired output size. A greedy method that calculates a weight based on the
+   neighborhood of each point and eliminates points until the output size is reached.
+
+   For more details, please refer to \cgalCite{cgal:cgal:y-sefpdss}.
+
+   \tparam PointRange is a model of `ConstRange`. The value type of
+   its iterator is the key type of the named parameter `point_map`.
+
+   \tparam OutputIterator Type of the output iterator. Must accept input of the same type as the iterator of `PointRange`.
+
+   \param points input point range
+   \param number_of_points target output size, must be smaller that the number of points in the input range
+   \param output where output points are put
+   \param np an optional sequence of \ref bgl_namedparameters "Named Parameters" among the ones listed below
