class mrpt::maps::CHeightGridMap2D¶

Digital Elevation Model (DEM), a mesh or grid representation of a surface which keeps the estimated height for each (x,y) location.

Important implemented features are the insertion of 2D laser scans (from arbitrary 6D poses) and the exportation as 3D scenes.

Each cell contains the up-to-date average height from measured falling in that cell. Algorithms that can be used:

mrSimpleAverage: Each cell only stores the current average value.

This class implements generic version of mrpt::maps::CMetric::insertObservation() accepting these types of sensory data:

mrpt::obs::CObservation2DRangeScan : 2D range scans
mrpt::obs::CObservationVelodyneScan

Fields¶

TMapRepresentation m_mapType

The map representation type of this map.

double min_x {-2}

See CHeightGridMap2D::CHeightGridMap2D.

mrpt::maps::CHeightGridMap2D::TMapRepresentation mapType {      CHeightGridMap2D::mrSimpleAverage}

The kind of map representation (see CHeightGridMap2D::CHeightGridMap2D)

Construction¶

CHeightGridMap2D(
    TMapRepresentation mapType = mrSimpleAverage,
    double x_min = -2,
    double x_max = 2,
    double y_min = -2,
    double y_max = 2,
    double resolution = 0.1
    )

Constructor.

Methods¶

bool intersectLine3D(const mrpt::math::TLine3D& r1, mrpt::math::TObject3D& obj) const

Gets the intersection between a 3D line and a Height Grid map (taking into account the different heights of each individual cell)

bool getMinMaxHeight(float& z_min, float& z_max) const

Computes the minimum and maximum height in the grid.

Returns:

False if there is no observed cell yet.

void clear()

Calls the base CMetricMap::clear Declared here to avoid ambiguity between the two clear() in both base classes.

virtual bool isEmpty() const

Returns true if the map is empty/no observation has been inserted.

virtual float compute3DMatchingRatio(
    const mrpt::maps::CMetricMap* otherMap,
    const mrpt::poses::CPose3D& otherMapPose,
    const TMatchingRatioParams& params
    ) const

See docs in base class: in this class it always returns 0.

virtual void saveMetricMapRepresentationToFile(const std::string& filNamePrefix) const

This virtual method saves the map to a file “filNamePrefix”+< some_file_extension >, as an image or in any other applicable way (Notice that other methods to save the map may be implemented in classes implementing this virtual interface).

virtual void getAs3DObject(mrpt::opengl::CSetOfObjects::Ptr& outObj) const

Returns a 3D object representing the map: by default, it will be a mrpt::opengl::CMesh object, unless it is specified otherwise in mrpt::global_settings::HEIGHTGRIDMAP_EXPORT3D_AS_MESH.

TMapRepresentation getMapType()

Return the type of the gas distribution map, according to parameters passed on construction.

size_t countObservedCells() const

Return the number of cells with at least one height data inserted.

virtual bool insertIndividualPoint(
    const double x,
    const double y,
    const double z,
    const CHeightGridMap2D_Base::TPointInsertParams& params = CHeightGridMap2D_Base::TPointInsertParams()
    )

Update the DEM with one new point.

Returns:

true if updated OK, false if (x,y) is out of bounds
