[Question] Are the docs for ICP tutorial up to date?

[Question]
Hi, I'm trying to do reconstruction with PCL 1.8.1.
I've setup a project to do ICP and it seems to be working however I'm not sure what to expect regarding its output and accuracy.

So I tried the tutorial here :
http://pointclouds.org/documentation/tutorials/pairwise_incremental_registration.php

But the result aligned cloud seems off, as shown in the image below

As the white arrow points out, the stairs are not aligned properly. You can see the double image.

I expected the alignment to be better than this, so is there something I'm missing?

I didn't change any code from the tutorial except :

reg.setPointRepresentation(boost::make_shared<const MyPointRepresentation>(point_representation));

PCL 1.8.1 doesn't have memory.h for make_shared so I just changed to use boost's.

I don't think this makes a difference but I'm not sure.

Please advise if this is indeed the expected behavior or there are things I can do to make it better.

Thanks

Accuracy depends on the configuration of ICP as well as the feature size. If your features are offset by 10cm and you configured it with a similar tolerance, that could be the issue here.
