Library `mrpt-obs`

This library is part of MRPT and can be installed in Debian-based systems with:

    sudo apt install libmrpt-obs-dev

See: Using MRPT from your CMake project

Key concepts:

Sensor observations: All sensor observations share a common virtual base class (mrpt::obs::CObservation). There are classes to store laser scanners, 3D range images, monocular and stereo images, GPS data, odometry, etc. A concept very related to observations is a mrpt::obs::CSensoryFrame, a set of observations which were collected approximately at the same instant.

Rawlogs (datasets): A robotics dataset can be loaded, edited and explored by means of the class mrpt::obs::CRawlog. See also: https://www.mrpt.org/Rawlog_Format

Actions: For convenience in many Bayesian filtering algorithms, robot actions (like 2D displacement characterized by an odometry increment) can be represented by means of "actions". See mrpt::obs::CAction.

"Simple maps": In MRPT, a "simple map" is a set of pairs: "position", "sensory frames" (read above). The advantage of maintaining such a "simple map" instead a metric map is that the metric maps can be rebuilt when needed with different parameters from the raw observations, which are never lost.

CARMEN logs tools: Utilities to read from CARMEN log files and load the observations there as MRPT observations. See mrpt::obs::carmen_log_parse_line and the applications: carmen2rawlog, carmen2simplemap.

Function Documentation

◆ carmen_log_parse_line()

bool mrpt::obs::carmen_log_parse_line ( std::istream &  in_stream,
std::vector< mrpt::obs::CObservation::Ptr > &  out_imported_observations,
const mrpt::system::TTimeStamp time_start_log 
)

Parse one line from an text input stream and interpret it as a CARMEN log entry, returning its MRPT observation representation.

The first word in each line determines the type of that entry. Supported line entries in this class are the following:

Note that the sensor position on the robot will be always deduced from the corresponding CARMEN log line automatically.

The following entry types will be IGNORED, since with the tags above will be enough in most applications.

  • "ODOM"
  • "RAWLASER"

About the PARAM entries: This functions has an internal static status consisting on some PARAM values which have effects on the future read observations. When the function finds one of these, it stores the parameter value, return an empty vector of observations, and use those values for future laser entries of types FLASER or RLASER. Currently, only these parameters are processed:

  • "robot_front_laser_max"
  • "laser_front_laser_resolution"
  • "robot_rear_laser_max"
  • "laser_rear_laser_resolution"
Parameters
time_start_logThe real timestamp that corresponds to a "0" in the CARMEN log (you can get a mrpt::system::now() once and pass that same value with each call).

References: http://carmen.sourceforge.net/doc/binary__loggerplayback.html

Returns
true on success, false on end-of-file (EOF).
Exceptions
std::runtime_errorOn any invalid line found.

OBSERVATION_T::Ptr mrpt::obs::utils::getObservation ( mrpt::obs::CSensoryFrame::Ptr observations,

)

Given an mrpt::obs::CSensoryFrame and a mrpt::obs::CObservation pointer if a OBSERVATION_T type observation is included and return a pointer to that instance.

Note
Pointer to a single instance is going to be returned. If a suitable observation exists in both the CSensoryFrame and CObservation the outcome is decided by the priority_to_sf flag
Returns
Pointer to the observation of the given type. Otherwise, an empty Ptr object is returned if a valid observation is not found.
