class mrpt::maps::CBeaconMap
A class for storing a map of 3D probabilistic beacons, using a Montecarlo, Gaussian, or Sum of Gaussians (SOG) representation (for range-only SLAM).
The individual beacons are defined as mrpt::maps::CBeacon objects.
When invoking CBeaconMap::insertObservation(), landmarks will be extracted and fused into the map. The only currently supported observation type is mrpt::obs::CObservationBeaconRanges. See insertionOptions and likelihoodOptions for parameters used when creating and fusing beacon landmarks.
Use “TInsertionOptions::insertAsMonteCarlo” to select between 2 different behaviors:
Initial PDF of beacons: MonteCarlo, after convergence, pass to Gaussians; or
Initial PDF of beacons: SOG, after convergence, a single Gaussian.
