Detailed Description

template<typename PointT>
class lslgeneric::NDTMapHMT< PointT >

Implements an NDT based spatial index on top of an hybrid metric topological grid.

Author:: Jari Saarinen (jari.saarinen@aalto.fi) and Todor Stoyanov (todor.stoyanov@oru.se)

Version:: 0.1

This class derives from NDTMap and extends with functionalities for tracking several overlapping grids. On top of NDTMap, this class assumes updates are coming from a vehicle that moves through an environment and scans with a limited range sensor. Border areas are tracked as separate LazyGrid maps and stored and loaded from disk when the robot switches the map region

	)		`[virtual]`

Adds a sample mean and covariance to the map

Parameters:

&ucov	The covariance matrix to be added
&umean	The mean of the normal distribution
numpointsindistribution	The number of points used in computation of the sample mean and covariance
r,g,b	-- optional color parameters
maxnumpoints	-- optional adaptation of the gaussians

Add a distribution to the map

	)		`[virtual]`

Add new pointcloud to map - This is the main interface for NDT-OM! Performs raytracing, updates conflicts and adds points to cells computeNDTCells must be called after calling this

Parameters:

&origin	is the position of the sensor, from where the scan has been taken from.
&pc	is the pointcloud to be added
classifierTh	A treshold to judge if the ray passes through a gaussian (obsolete)
maxz	threshold for the maximum z-coordinate value for the measurement point_cloud
sensor_noise	The expected standard deviation of the sensor noise

Adds a new cloud: NDT-OM update step

< don't accept points further than the measurement

<distance to endpoint

test for distance based sensor noise

This is the probability of max lik point being endpoint

Evidence value for empty - alpha * p(x);

	)		`[virtual]`

Add new pointcloud to map - Updates the occupancy using the mean values of a local map generated from an observation

Performs raytracing, updates conflicts and adds points to cells computeNDTCells must be called after calling this

Parameters:

&origin	is the position of the sensor, from where the scan has been taken from.
&pc	is the pointcloud to be added
&localmapsize	The dimensions of the local map used for computing the gaussians
maxnumpoints	Defines the forgetting factor (default 100000) the smaller the value the faster the adaptation
occupancy_limit	Clamping threshold for log-odds value
maxz	threshold for the maximum z-coordinate value for the measurement point_cloud
sensor_noise	The expected standard deviation of the sensor noise

fprintf(stderr,"UPDATING\n");

Lets first create a local ndmap (this really works only if we have lazy grid as well)

TODO: This returns now copies --- should be pointers?

< don't accept points further than the measurement

<distance to endpoint

test for distance based sensor noise

This is the probability of max lik point being endpoint

Evidence value for empty - alpha * p(x);

Add fake point to initialize!

<FIXME:: local implementation can be faster?

Parameters:

cellupdatemode	Defines the update mode (default CELL_UPDATE_MODE_SAMPLE_VARIANCE)
maxnumpoints	Defines the forgetting factor (default 100000) the smaller the value the faster the adaptation

int lslgeneric::NDTMapHMT< PointT >::loadFrom ( )

method to load NDT maps from .jff files USAGE: create NDTMap with desired index and PointType (index type is checked, but Point type is NOT checked) via e.g.

lslgeneric::NDTMap<pcl::PointXYZ> nd1( new lslgeneric::LazyGrid<pcl::PointXYZ>(0.4)); --> (*)

nd1.loadFromJFF("map0027.jff");

void lslgeneric::NDTMapHMT< PointT >::loadPointCloud	(	const pcl::PointCloud< PointT > &	pc,

loadPointCloud - You can call this if you are only interested in dealing with one scan without need for fusing several ones or representing empty space and occupancy

Otherwise you should always call addPointCloud (or if you don't want occupancy then addPointCloudSimple)

Parameters:

pc	the PointCloud that is to be loaded

Note:: every subsequent call will destroy the previous map!
