Public Member Functions

 MRPT_DECLARE_DEPRECATED_FUNCTION ("**deprecated** Use getMean instead", CPose3D getEstimatedPose() const )
 Returns an estimate of the pose, (the mean, or mathematical expectation of the PDF).
virtual void copyFrom (const CPose3DPDF &o)=0
 Copy operator, translating if necesary (for example, between particles and gaussian representations).
virtual void bayesianFusion (CPose3DPDF &p1, CPose3DPDF &p2)=0
 Bayesian fusion of two pose distributions, then save the result in this object (WARNING: Currently only distributions of the same class can be fused! eg, gaussian with gaussian,etc).
virtual void inverse (CPose3DPDF &o) const =0
 Returns a new PDF such as: NEW_PDF = (0,0,0) - THIS_PDF.

Static Public Member Functions

static CPose3DPDFcreateFrom2D (const CPosePDF &o)
 This is a static transformation method from 2D poses to 3D PDFs, preserving the representation type (particles->particles, Gaussians->Gaussians,etc) It returns a new object of any of the derived classes of CPose3DPDF.


Detailed Description

Declares a class that represents a Probability Density Function (PDF) of a 3D pose (6D actually).

This class is just the base class for unifying many diferent ways this PDF can be implemented.

For convenience, a pose composition is also defined for any PDF derived class, changeCoordinatesReference, in the form of a method rather than an operator.

For a similar class for 3D points (without attitude), see CPointPDF

See also the tutorial on probabilistic spatial representations in the MRPT.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void mrpt::poses::CPose3DPDF::bayesianFusion ( CPose3DPDF p1,
CPose3DPDF p2 
) [pure virtual]

Bayesian fusion of two pose distributions, then save the result in this object (WARNING: Currently only distributions of the same class can be fused! eg, gaussian with gaussian,etc).

Implemented in mrpt::poses::CPose3DPDFGaussian, mrpt::poses::CPose3DPDFParticles, and mrpt::poses::CPose3DPDFSOG.

virtual void mrpt::poses::CPose3DPDF::copyFrom ( const CPose3DPDF o  )  [pure virtual]

Copy operator, translating if necesary (for example, between particles and gaussian representations).

See also:
createFrom2D

Implemented in mrpt::poses::CPose3DPDFGaussian, mrpt::poses::CPose3DPDFParticles, and mrpt::poses::CPose3DPDFSOG.

static CPose3DPDF* mrpt::poses::CPose3DPDF::createFrom2D ( const CPosePDF o  )  [static]

This is a static transformation method from 2D poses to 3D PDFs, preserving the representation type (particles->particles, Gaussians->Gaussians,etc) It returns a new object of any of the derived classes of CPose3DPDF.

This object must be deleted by the user when not required anymore.

virtual void mrpt::poses::CPose3DPDF::inverse ( CPose3DPDF o  )  const [pure virtual]

Returns a new PDF such as: NEW_PDF = (0,0,0) - THIS_PDF.

Implemented in mrpt::poses::CPose3DPDFGaussian, mrpt::poses::CPose3DPDFParticles, and mrpt::poses::CPose3DPDFSOG.

mrpt::poses::CPose3DPDF::MRPT_DECLARE_DEPRECATED_FUNCTION ( "**deprecated** Use getMean instead"  ,
CPose3D getEstimatedPose()  const 
) [inline]

Returns an estimate of the pose, (the mean, or mathematical expectation of the PDF).
