Member Function Documentation

double rgrl_feature_trace_pt::absolute_signature_weight ( rgrl_feature_sptr  other) const [virtual]

Compute the signature weight between two features.

Reimplemented from rgrl_feature.

Definition at line 158 of file rgrl_feature_trace_pt.cxx.

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.

virtual bool rgrl_feature::allow_fast_computation_on_error ( ) const [inline, virtual, inherited]

When computing geometric error, allow only mapping of From location.

Otherwise, a mapped feature will be created, which is much more heavy

Definition at line 116 of file rgrl_feature.h.

rgrl_feature_trace_pt::feature_vector rgrl_feature_trace_pt::boundary_points ( vnl_vector< double > const &  in_direction) const [virtual]

The result is a vector of boundary locations in the direction of the normal in the plane defined by the tangent and in_direction.

CAVEAT: This design is not good enough for 3D trace points, since it only produces 2 boundary constraints. This function should be revised later for 3D.

Chuck's comment: I'm not sure this should be here. It can easily be extracted in an arbitrary set of dimensions from a normal subspace and the radius.

Definition at line 126 of file rgrl_feature_trace_pt.cxx.

rgrl_feature_sptr rgrl_feature_trace_pt::clone ( ) const [virtual]

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

Definition at line 26 of file rgrl_object.cxx.

Definition at line 59 of file rgrl_feature.h.

vnl_matrix< double > const & rgrl_feature_trace_pt::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.

Implements rgrl_feature.

Definition at line 71 of file rgrl_feature_trace_pt.cxx.

vnl_matrix< double > const & rgrl_feature::error_projector_sqrt ( ) const [virtual, inherited]

unsigned rgrl_feature::signature_error_dimension ( const vcl_type_info &  other_feature_type) const [virtual, inherited]

If non-zero, the dimensions of the signature error vector.

The dimension depends on the other feature type. Defaults to 0.

Definition at line 38 of file rgrl_feature.cxx.

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.
