mrpt::slam::CGridMapAligner Class Reference

Detailed Description

A class for aligning two multi-metric maps (with an occupancy grid maps and a points map, at least) based on features extraction and matching.

The matching pose is returned as a Sum of Gaussians (poses::CPosePDFSOG).

This class can use three methods (see options.methodSelection):

• amCorrelation: "Brute-force" correlation of the two maps over a 2D+orientation grid of possible 2D poses.
• amRobustMatch: Detection of features + RANSAC matching
• amModifiedRANSAC: Detection of features + modified multi-hypothesis RANSAC matching as described in was reported in the paper http://www.mrpt.org/Paper%3AOccupancy_Grid_Matching

See CGridMapAligner::Align for more instructions.

Align()

CPosePDFPtr CMetricMapsAlignmentAlgorithm::Align ( const mrpt::maps::CMetricMap *  m1, const mrpt::maps::CMetricMap *  m2, const mrpt::poses::CPose2D &  grossEst, float *  runningTime = NULL, void *  info = NULL  )

inherited

The method for aligning a pair of metric maps, aligning only 2D + orientation.

The meaning of some parameters and the kind of the maps to be aligned are implementation dependant, so look into the derived classes for instructions. The target is to find a PDF for the pose displacement between maps, thus the pose of m2 relative to m1. This pose is returned as a PDF rather than a single value.

Parameters

m1	[IN] The first map
m2	[IN] The second map. The pose of this map respect to m1 is to be estimated.
grossEst	[IN] An initial gross estimation for the displacement. If a given algorithm doesn't need it, set to CPose2D(0,0,0) for example.
runningTime	[OUT] A pointer to a container for obtaining the algorithm running time in seconds, or NULL if you don't need it.
info	[OUT] See derived classes for details, or NULL if it isn't needed.

Returns

A smart pointer to the output estimated pose PDF.

inherited

The method for aligning a pair of metric maps, aligning the full 6D pose.

The meaning of some parameters and the kind of the maps to be aligned are implementation dependant, so look into the derived classes for instructions. The target is to find a PDF for the pose displacement between maps, thus the pose of m2 relative to m1. This pose is returned as a PDF rather than a single value.

Parameters

m1	[IN] The first map
m2	[IN] The second map. The pose of this map respect to m1 is to be estimated.
grossEst	[IN] An initial gross estimation for the displacement. If a given algorithm doesn't need it, set to CPose3D(0,0,0) for example.
runningTime	[OUT] A pointer to a container for obtaining the algorithm running time in seconds, or NULL if you don't need it.
info	[OUT] See derived classes for details, or NULL if it isn't needed.

Returns

AlignPDF()

CPosePDFPtr CGridMapAligner::AlignPDF ( const mrpt::maps::CMetricMap *  m1, const mrpt::maps::CMetricMap *  m2, const mrpt::poses::CPosePDFGaussian &  initialEstimationPDF, float *  runningTime = NULL, void *  info = NULL  )

virtual

The method for aligning a pair of 2D points map.

The meaning of some parameters are implementation dependant, so look for derived classes for instructions. The target is to find a PDF for the pose displacement between maps, thus the pose of m2 relative to m1. This pose is returned as a PDF rather than a single value.

NOTE: This method can be configurated with "options"

Parameters

m1	[IN] The first map (Must be a mrpt::maps::CMultiMetricMap class)
m2	[IN] The second map (Must be a mrpt::maps::CMultiMetricMap class)
initialEstimationPDF	[IN] (IGNORED IN THIS ALGORITHM!)
runningTime	[OUT] A pointer to a container for obtaining the algorithm running time in seconds, or NULL if you don't need it.
info	[OUT] A pointer to a TReturnInfo struct, or NULL if result information are not required.

Note

The returned PDF depends on the selected alignment method:

• "amRobustMatch" –> A "poses::CPosePDFSOG" object.
• "amCorrelation" –> A "poses::CPosePDFGrid" object.

Returns

A smart pointer to the output estimated pose PDF.
