Represents a landmark feature.
A landmark feature is a branching or cross-over point of a vascular-like structure. It is characterized by a number of outgoing direction vectors. The error_projection matrix is identity.

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.

vnl_matrix< double > const & rgrl_feature_landmark::error_projector | ( | ) | const [virtual] |
Projects the error to the normal space of the underlying surface.
This matrix essentially describes the underlying surface from which this feature arises. For a normal point, this would be the identity matrix, implying that all dimensions of the error vector are significant. For a point on a curve, this matrix could remove this component of the error in the tangential direction, because we are only interested in the error normal to the curve.
Defaults to the identity matrix.

Compute the maximum similarity between 2 landmarks.
The similarity is a measure of best alignment of the 2 sets of outgoing directions. It is computed as the sum of the dot-product of the matched directions, normalized by twice the size of the smallest set of outgoing directions. The details are in "A Feature-Based, Robust, Hierarchical Algorithm for Registering Pairs of Images of the Curved Human Retina", IEEE Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, 24(3), 2002.

vnl_vector< double > rgrl_feature::signature_error_vector | ( | rgrl_feature const & | other | ) | const [virtual, inherited] |
Compute the signature error vector between two features.
The result is invalid if signature_error_dimension() is false (0).
A signature vector stores a set of properties associated with the feature. Take the trace point on a vessel for example. The possible properties include the normal to the vessel and the vessel width at the give trace point. A feature can return different type of signature_error_vector, depending on the type of the other feature.
A signature_error_vector describes the "difference" between two features. It is important for the computation of robust signature/similarity weight. The robust weight depends on the weight distribution of all matches involved in the estimation of the transformation.
CAVEAT: We assume the signature_error_vector has zero-mean.
