26 /** A virtual interface for all feature trackers, implementing the part of
27  * feature tracking that is common to any specific tracker implementation.
28  * This class provides a quite robust tracking of features, avoiding as many
29  * outliers as possible but not all of them:
30  * more robust tracking would require application-specific information and
31  * could be done in a number of very different approaches,
32  * so this class will not try to do any kind of RANSAC or any other advanced
33  * outlier rejection; instead, it should
34  * be done by the users or the classes that employ this class.
35  *
36  * The basic usage of this class is as follows:
37  * \code
38  * CFeatureTracker_KL tracker; // Note: CFeatureTracker_KL is the
39  * most robust implementation for now.
40  * tracker.extra_params["add_new_features"] = 1; // Enable detection of
41  * new features, not only tracking
42  * tracker.extra_params[...] = ...
43  * // ....
44  * TKeyPointList theFeats; // The list of features
45  * mrpt::img::CImage previous_img, current_img;
46  *
47  * while (true) {
48  * current_img = ... // Grab new image.
49  * if ( previous_img_is_ok )
50  * tracker.trackFeatures(previous_img, current_img, theFeats);
51  * previous_img = current_img;
52  * }
53  * \endcode
54  *
55  * Below follows the list of optional parameters for "extra_params" which can
56  * be set
57  * and will be understood by this base class for any specific tracker
58  * implementation.
59  * Note that all parameters are double's, but boolean flags are emulated by
60  * the values 0.0 (false) and 1.0 (true).
61  *
62  * List of parameters:

71  * to the passed feature list if they fulfill a set of restrictions,
72  * as stablished by the other parameters (see
