mrpt::bayes::CParticleFilter Class Reference

Detailed Description

This class acts as a common interface to the different interfaces (see CParticleFilter::TParticleFilterAlgorithm) any bayes::CParticleFilterCapable class can implement: it is the invoker of particle filter algorithms.

The particle filter is executed on a probability density function (PDF) described by a CParticleFilterCapable object, passed in the constructor or alternatively through the CParticleFilter::executeOn method.

For a complete example and further details, see the Particle Filter tutorial.

The basic SIR algorithm (pfStandardProposal) consists of:

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ TParticleFilterAlgorithm

Defines different types of particle filter algorithms.

The defined SIR implementations are:

  • pfStandardProposal: Standard proposal distribution + weights according to likelihood function.
  • pfAuxiliaryPFStandard: An auxiliary PF using the standard proposal distribution.
  • pfOptimalProposal: Use the optimal proposal distribution (where available!, usually this will perform approximations)
  • pfAuxiliaryPFOptimal: Use the optimal proposal and a auxiliary particle filter (see paper).

See the theoretical discussion in resampling schemes.

◆ TParticleResamplingAlgorithm

Defines the different resampling algorithms.

The implemented resampling methods are:

  • prMultinomial (Default): Uses standard select with replacement (draws M random uniform numbers)
  • prResidual: The residual or "remainder" method.
  • prStratified: The stratified resampling, where a uniform sample is drawn for each of M subdivisions of the range (0,1].
  • prSystematic: A single uniform sample is drawn in the range (0,1/M].

See the theoretical discussion in resampling schemes.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ CParticleFilter()

CParticleFilter::CParticleFilter ( )

Default constructor.

After creating the PF object, set the options in CParticleFilter::m_options, then execute steps through CParticleFilter::executeOn.

◆ ~CParticleFilter()

virtual mrpt::bayes::CParticleFilter::~CParticleFilter ( )

Member Function Documentation

◆ executeOn()

void CParticleFilter::executeOn ( CParticleFilterCapable obj,
const mrpt::obs::CActionCollection action,
const mrpt::obs::CSensoryFrame observation,
TParticleFilterStats stats = NULL 
)

Executes a complete prediction + update step of the selected particle filtering algorithm.

The member CParticleFilter::m_options must be set before calling this to settle the algorithm parameters.

Parameters
objThe object representing the probability distribution function (PDF) which apply the particle filter algorithm to.
actionA pointer to an action in the form of a CActionCollection, or NULL if there is no action.
observationA pointer to observations in the form of a CSensoryFrame, or NULL if there is no observation.
statsAn output structure for gathering statistics of the particle filter execution, or set to NULL if you do not need it (see CParticleFilter::TParticleFilterStats).
