class mrpt::poses::CPose3DQuatPDFGaussian

Declares a class that represents a Probability Density function (PDF) of a 3D pose using a quaternion \(p(\mathbf{x}) = [x ~ y ~ z ~ qr ~ qx ~ qy ~ qz]^\top\).

This class implements that PDF using a mono-modal Gaussian distribution. See mrpt::poses::CPose3DQuatPDF for more details, or mrpt::poses::CPose3DPDF for classes based on Euler angles instead.

Uncertainty of pose composition operations (\(y = x \oplus u\)) is implemented in the methods “CPose3DQuatPDFGaussian::operator+=” and “CPose3DQuatPDF::jacobiansPoseComposition”.

For further details on implemented methods and the theory behind them, see this report.

Fields

CPose3DQuat mean

The mean value.

mrpt::math::CMatrixDouble77 cov

The 7x7 covariance matrix.

Construction

CPose3DQuatPDFGaussian()

Default constructor - set all values to zero.

CPose3DQuatPDFGaussian(mrpt::math::TConstructorFlags_Quaternions constructor_dummy_param)

Constructor which left all the member uninitialized, for using when speed is critical - as argument, use UNINITIALIZED_QUATERNION.

CPose3DQuatPDFGaussian(const CPose3DQuat& init_Mean)

Constructor from a default mean value, covariance equals to zero.

CPose3DQuatPDFGaussian(const CPose3DQuat& init_Mean, const mrpt::math::CMatrixDouble77& init_Cov)

Constructor with mean and covariance.

CPose3DQuatPDFGaussian(const CPosePDFGaussian& o)

Constructor from a Gaussian 2D pose PDF (sets to 0 the missing variables).

CPose3DQuatPDFGaussian(const CPose3DPDFGaussian& o)

Constructor from an equivalent Gaussian in Euler angles representation.

Methods

virtual std::tuple<cov_mat_t, type_value> getCovarianceAndMean() const

Returns an estimate of the pose covariance matrix (STATE_LENxSTATE_LEN cov matrix) and the mean, both at once.

virtual void copyFrom(const CPose3DQuatPDF& o)

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

void copyFrom(const CPosePDF& o)

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

void copyFrom(const CPose3DPDFGaussian& o)

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

virtual bool saveToTextFile(const std::string& file) const

Save the PDF to a text file, containing the 3D pose in the first line (x y z qr qx qy qz), then the covariance matrix in the next 7 lines.

void changeCoordinatesReference(const CPose3DQuat& newReferenceBase)

this = p (+) this.

This can be used to convert a PDF from local coordinates to global, providing the point (newReferenceBase) from which “to project” the current pdf. Result PDF substituted the currently stored one in the object.

virtual void changeCoordinatesReference(const CPose3D& newReferenceBase)

this = p (+) this.

This can be used to convert a PDF from local coordinates to global, providing the point (newReferenceBase) from which “to project” the current pdf. Result PDF substituted the currently stored one in the object.

void drawSingleSample(CPose3DQuat& outPart) const

Draws a single sample from the distribution.

virtual void drawManySamples(size_t N, std::vector<mrpt::math::CVectorDouble>& outSamples) const

Draws a number of samples from the distribution, and saves as a list of 1x7 vectors, where each row contains a (x,y,z,qr,qx,qy,qz) datum.

virtual void inverse(CPose3DQuatPDF& o) const

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

CPose3DQuatPDFGaussian operator - () const

Unary - operator, returns the PDF of the inverse pose.

void operator += (const CPose3DQuat& Ap)

Makes: thisPDF = thisPDF + Ap, where “+” is pose composition (both the mean, and the covariance matrix are updated).

void operator += (const CPose3DQuatPDFGaussian& Ap)

Makes: thisPDF = thisPDF + Ap, where “+” is pose composition (both the mean, and the covariance matrix are updated) (see formulas in jacobiansPoseComposition ).

void operator -= (const CPose3DQuatPDFGaussian& Ap)

Makes: thisPDF = thisPDF - Ap, where “-” is pose inverse composition (both the mean, and the covariance matrix are updated).

double evaluatePDF(const CPose3DQuat& x) const

Evaluates the PDF at a given point.

double evaluateNormalizedPDF(const CPose3DQuat& x) const

Evaluates the ratio PDF(x) / PDF(MEAN), that is, the normalized PDF in the range [0,1].

double mahalanobisDistanceTo(const CPose3DQuatPDFGaussian& theOther)

Computes the Mahalanobis distance between the centers of two Gaussians.

The variables with a variance exactly equal to 0 are not taken into account in the process, but “infinity” is returned if the corresponding elements are not exactly equal.
