class mrpt::slam::CMonteCarloLocalization3D

Overview

Declares a class that represents a Probability Density Function (PDF) over a 3D pose (x,y,phi,yaw,pitch,roll), using a set of weighted samples.

This class also implements particle filtering for robot localization. See the MRPT application “app/pf-localization” for an example of usage.

mrpt::opengl::CSetOfObjects::Ptr getVisualization() const

Returns a 3D representation of this PDF.

Needs the mrpt-opengl library, and using mrpt::opengl::CSetOfObjects::Ptr as template argument.

virtual void copyFrom(const CPose3DPDF& o)

Copy operator, translating if necessary (for example, between m_particles and gaussian representations)

void resetDeterministic(const mrpt::math::TPose3D& location, size_t particlesCount = 0)

Reset the PDF to a single point: All m_particles will be set exactly to the supplied pose.

Parameters:

location	The location to set all the m_particles.
particlesCount	If this is set to 0 the number of m_particles remains unchanged.

    const mrpt::math::TPose3D& corner_max,
    const int particlesCount = -1
    )

Reset the PDF to an uniformly distributed one, inside of the defined “cube”.

static CPose3DPDF* createFrom2D(const CPosePDF& o)

This is a static transformation method from 2D poses to 3D PDFs, preserving the representation type (particles->particles, Gaussians->Gaussians,etc)

It returns a new object of any of the derived classes of CPose3DPDF. This object must be deleted by the user when not required anymore.
