class mrpt::poses::CPose3D

Overview

A SE(3) pose, comprising a 3D translation and a 3D rotation.

The transformation is stored in two separate containers:

  • a 3-array for the translation ∈ R³, and

  • a 3x3 rotation matrix ∈ SO(3).

This class allows parameterizing 6D poses as a 6-vector [x y z yaw pitch roll] (read below for the angles convention). Note however, that the yaw/pitch/roll angles are only computed (on-demand and transparently) when the user requests them. Normally, rotations and transformations are always handled via the 3x3 SO(3) rotation matrix.

Yaw/Pitch/Roll angles are defined as successive rotations around local (dynamic) axes in the Z/Y/X order:

CPose3D CPose3D CPose3D CPose3D

It can be shown that “yaw, pitch, roll” can be also understood as rotations around global (static) axes. Both conventions lead to exactly the same SE(3) transformations, although in it is conventional to write the numbers in reverse order. That is, the same SO(3) rotation can be described equivalently with any of these two parameterizations:

  • In local axes Z/Y/X convention: [yaw pitch roll] (This is the convention used in mrpt::poses::CPose3D)

  • In global axes X/Y/Z convention: [roll pitch yaw] (One of the Euler angles conventions)

For further descriptions of point & pose classes, see mrpt::poses::CPoseOrPoint or refer to the 2D/3D Geometry tutorial online.

To change the individual components of the pose, use CPose3D::setFromValues. This class assures that the internal SO(3) rotation matrix is always up-to-date with the “yaw pitch roll” members.

Rotations in 3D can be also represented by quaternions. See mrpt::math::CQuaternion, and method CPose3D::getAsQuaternion.

This class and CPose3DQuat are very similar, and they can be converted to the each other automatically via transformation constructors.

For Lie algebra methods, see mrpt::poses::Lie.

virtual std::string asString() const

Returns a human-readable textual representation of the object (eg: “[x y z yaw pitch roll]”, angles in degrees.)

See also:

fromString

void fromString(const std::string& s)

Set the current object value from a string generated by ‘asString’ (eg: “[x y z yaw pitch roll]”, angles in deg.

)

Parameters:

std::exception

On invalid format

See also:

asString

void fromStringRaw(const std::string& s)

Same as fromString, but without requiring the square brackets in the string.

bool isHorizontal(const double tolerance = 0) const

Return true if the 6D pose represents a Z axis almost exactly vertical (upwards or downwards), with a given tolerance (if set to 0 exact horizontality is tested).

double distanceEuclidean6D(const CPose3D& o) const

The euclidean distance between two poses taken as two 6-length vectors (angles in radians).

CPose3D getOppositeScalar() const

Return the opposite of the current pose instance by taking the negative of all its components individually.

virtual void setToNaN()

Set all data fields to quiet NaN.
