Detailed Description

Interface for the transform estimators.

An estimator creates a transform object from a set of matches.

Definition at line 27 of file rgrl_estimator.h.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

rgrl_estimator::rgrl_estimator ( )

Default constructor.

Does nothing.

Definition at line 18 of file rgrl_estimator.cxx.

rgrl_estimator::rgrl_estimator ( unsigned int  param_dof)

Constructor.

See the comments for param_dof(). The parameter is required by some algorithms such as random sampling and DBICP.

Definition at line 12 of file rgrl_estimator.cxx.

rgrl_estimator::~rgrl_estimator ( ) [virtual]

Definition at line 24 of file rgrl_estimator.cxx.


Member Function Documentation

unsigned int rgrl_object::add_observer ( rgrl_event_sptr  event,
rgrl_command_sptr  cmd 
) [inherited]

Allow people to add/remove/invoke observers (callbacks) to any rgrl object.

This is an implementation of the subject/observer design pattern. An observer is added by specifying an event to respond to and an rgrl_command to execute. It returns an unsigned long tag which can be used later to remove the event or retrieve the command.

Definition at line 47 of file rgrl_object.cxx.

unsigned int rgrl_object::debug_flag ( ) const [inherited]

Get the value of the debug flag.

Definition at line 26 of file rgrl_object.cxx.

virtual rgrl_transformation_sptr rgrl_estimator::estimate ( rgrl_set_of< rgrl_match_set_sptr > const &  matches,
rgrl_transformation const &  cur_transform 
) const [pure virtual]

Estimate the transform.

Given a collection of match sets in matches and the current transform estimate (from the previous iteration, for example), this function will estimate the transformation parameters and return a transform object that captures the estimated transform.

Implemented in rgrl_est_spline, rgrl_est_reduced_quad2d, rgrl_est_quadratic, rgrl_est_affine, rgrl_est_similarity2d, rgrl_est_translation, rgrl_est_dis_homo2d_lm, rgrl_est_rigid, rgrl_est_homography2d, rgrl_est_homo2d_lm, rgrl_est_homo2d_proj_rad, and rgrl_est_homo2d_proj.

rgrl_transformation_sptr rgrl_estimator::estimate ( rgrl_match_set_sptr  matches,
rgrl_transformation const &  cur_transform 
) const [virtual]

Estimate the transform.

Given a set of matches in matches and the current transform estimate (from the previous iteration, for example), this function will estimate the transformation parameters and return a transform object that captures the estimated transform.

The default implementation in the abstract base class will simply construct a size one collection of match sets and call the other estimate function.

Reimplemented in rgrl_est_reduced_quad2d, rgrl_est_spline, rgrl_est_quadratic, rgrl_est_affine, rgrl_est_similarity2d, rgrl_est_translation, rgrl_est_rigid, rgrl_est_dis_homo2d_lm, and rgrl_est_homography2d.

Definition at line 31 of file rgrl_estimator.cxx.

rgrl_command_sptr rgrl_object::get_command ( unsigned int  tag) [inherited]

Get the command associated with the given tag.

Definition at line 57 of file rgrl_object.cxx.

bool rgrl_object::has_observer ( const rgrl_event event) const [inherited]

Return true if an observer is registered for this event.

Definition at line 107 of file rgrl_object.cxx.

void rgrl_object::invoke_event ( const rgrl_event event) [inherited]

Call execute(.) on all the rgrl_commands observing this event id.

Definition at line 69 of file rgrl_object.cxx.

void rgrl_object::invoke_event ( const rgrl_event event) const [inherited]

Call execute(.) on all the rgrl_commands observing this event id.

The actions triggered by this call doesn't modify this object.

Definition at line 83 of file rgrl_object.cxx.

virtual bool rgrl_estimator::is_iterative_method ( ) const [pure virtual]

whether this method is iterative or non-iterative.

Implemented in rgrl_nonlinear_estimator, and rgrl_linear_estimator.

virtual bool rgrl_object::is_type ( const vcl_type_info &  type) const [inline, virtual, inherited]

Reimplemented in rgrl_scale_estimator.

Definition at line 66 of file rgrl_object.h.

unsigned int rgrl_estimator::param_dof ( ) const [inline]

The degrees of freedom in the parameter set.

Definition at line 81 of file rgrl_estimator.h.

void rgrl_object::remove_observer ( unsigned int  tag) [inherited]

Remove the observer with this tag value.

Definition at line 97 of file rgrl_object.cxx.

virtual unsigned int rgrl_estimator::residual_dof ( ) const [inline, virtual]

The degrees of freedom in the residual.

Most of the time, this would be 1 since the residual comes from a single random variable. In some problems, however, the error is the combination of more than one random variable. (For example, if the residual is a 2d Euclidean distance with possible error in both coordinates, the degrees of freedom in the error will be 2.)

Definition at line 94 of file rgrl_estimator.h.

rgrl_estimator::rgrl_type_macro ( rgrl_estimator  ,
rgrl_object   
)
void rgrl_object::set_debug_flag ( unsigned int  debugFlag) const [inherited]

Set the value of the debug flag. A non-zero value turns debugging on.

Definition at line 19 of file rgrl_object.cxx.

void rgrl_estimator::set_param_dof ( unsigned int  dof) [inline]

Set the degrees of freedom.

Definition at line 84 of file rgrl_estimator.h.

void rgrl_object::set_warning ( bool  flag) const [inherited]

Set the flag for warning messages.

Definition at line 33 of file rgrl_object.cxx.

virtual const vcl_string rgrl_estimator::transformation_name ( ) const [inline, virtual]

Name of transformation estimated by this estimator.

It is more useful when a transformation/estimator pair is capable of storing/estimating several models, usually differing in dof

Reimplemented in rgrl_est_homo2d_proj_rad.

Definition at line 105 of file rgrl_estimator.h.

virtual const vcl_type_info& rgrl_estimator::transformation_type ( ) const [pure virtual]
static const vcl_type_info& rgrl_object::type_id ( ) [inline, static, inherited]

Reimplemented in rgrl_scale_estimator.

Definition at line 63 of file rgrl_object.h.

bool rgrl_object::warning ( ) const [inherited]

Get the warning flag.

Definition at line 40 of file rgrl_object.cxx.
