CPoint3D mean
The mean value.
mrpt::math::CMatrixDouble33 cov
The 3x3 covariance matrix.
Construction
CPointPDFGaussian()
Default constructor.
CPointPDFGaussian(const CPoint3D& init_Mean)
Constructor.
CPointPDFGaussian(const CPoint3D& init_Mean, const mrpt::math::CMatrixDouble33& init_Cov)
Constructor.
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 CPointPDF& o)
Copy operator, translating if necesary (for example, between particles and gaussian representations)
virtual bool saveToTextFile(const std::string& file) const
Save PDF’s particles to a text file, containing the 2D pose in the first line, then the covariance matrix in next 3 lines.
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. Both the mean value and the covariance matrix are updated correctly.
void bayesianFusion(const CPointPDFGaussian& p1, const CPointPDFGaussian& p2)
Bayesian fusion of two points gauss.
distributions, then save the result in this object. The process is as follows:
(x1,S1): Mean and variance of the p1 distribution.
(x2,S2): Mean and variance of the p2 distribution.
(x,S): Mean and variance of the resulting distribution.
\(S = (S_1^{-1} + S_2^{-1})^{-1}\) \(x = S ( S_1^{-1} x_1 + S_2^{-1} x_2 )\)
double productIntegralWith(const CPointPDFGaussian& p) const
Computes the “correspondence likelihood” of this PDF with another one: This is implemented as the integral from -inf to +inf of the product of both PDF.
The resulting number is >=0.
Parameters:
std::exception |
On errors like covariance matrix with null determinant, etc… |
See also:
double productIntegralWith2D(const CPointPDFGaussian& p) const
Computes the “correspondence likelihood” of this PDF with another one: This is implemented as the integral from -inf to +inf of the product of both PDF.
The resulting number is >=0. NOTE: This version ignores the “z” coordinates!!
Parameters:
std::exception |
On errors like covariance matrix with null determinant, etc… |
See also:
double productIntegralNormalizedWith(const CPointPDFGaussian& p) const
Computes the “correspondence likelihood” of this PDF with another one: This is implemented as the integral from -inf to +inf of the product of both PDF.
The resulting number is in the range [0,1] Note that the resulting value is in fact
, with \(D^2\) being the square Mahalanobis distance between the two pdfs.
Parameters:
std::exception |
On errors like covariance matrix with null determinant, etc… |

The resulting number is in the range [0,1]. This versions ignores the “z” coordinate.
Note that the resulting value is in fact

void drawSingleSample(CPoint3D& outSample) const
Draw a sample from the pdf.
virtual void bayesianFusion( const CPointPDF& p1, const CPointPDF& p2, const double minMahalanobisDistToDrop = 0 )
Bayesian fusion of two point distributions (product of two distributions->new distribution), then save the result in this object (WARNING: See implementing classes to see classes that can and cannot be mixtured!)
Parameters:
p1 |
The first distribution to fuse |
p2 |
The second distribution to fuse |
minMahalanobisDistToDrop |
If set to different of 0, the result of very separate Gaussian modes (that will result in negligible components) in SOGs will be dropped to reduce the number of modes in the output. |
double mahalanobisDistanceTo( const CPointPDFGaussian& other, bool only_2D = false ) const
Returns the Mahalanobis distance from this PDF to another PDF, that is, it’s evaluation at (0,0,0)
