distance_field::DistanceField Class Referenceabstract

DistanceField is an abstract base class for computing distances from sets of 3D obstacle points. The distance assigned to a freespace cell should be the distance to the closest obstacle cell. Cells that are obstacle cells should either be marked as zero distance, or may have a negative distance if a signed version of the distance field is being used and an obstacle point is internal to an obstacle volume.

void addOcTreeToField (const octomap::OcTree *octree)
 Adds an octree to the distance field. Cells that are occupied in the octree that lie within the voxel grid are added to the distance field. The octree can represent either a larger or smaller volume than the distance field. If the resolution of the octree is less than or equal to the resolution of the distance field then the center of each leaf cell of the octree will be added to the distance field. If the resolution of the octree is greater than a 3D volume of the correct resolution will be added for each occupied leaf node. More...

Detailed Description

DistanceField is an abstract base class for computing distances from sets of 3D obstacle points. The distance assigned to a freespace cell should be the distance to the closest obstacle cell. Cells that are obstacle cells should either be marked as zero distance, or may have a negative distance if a signed version of the distance field is being used and an obstacle point is internal to an obstacle volume.

Inherited classes must contain methods for holding a dense set of 3D voxels as well as methods for computing the required distances. The distance field parent class doesn't hold the data or have any way to generate distances from that data.

Member Function Documentation

void distance_field::DistanceField::addOcTreeToField ( const octomap::OcTree octree)

Adds an octree to the distance field. Cells that are occupied in the octree that lie within the voxel grid are added to the distance field. The octree can represent either a larger or smaller volume than the distance field. If the resolution of the octree is less than or equal to the resolution of the distance field then the center of each leaf cell of the octree will be added to the distance field. If the resolution of the octree is greater than a 3D volume of the correct resolution will be added for each occupied leaf node.

Parameters
[in]octreeThe octree to add to the distance field

Definition at line 280 of file distance_field.cpp.

virtual void distance_field::DistanceField::addPointsToField ( const EigenSTL::vector_Vector3d points)
pure virtual

Add a set of obstacle points to the distance field, updating distance values accordingly. The distance field may already contain obstacle cells.

Parameters
[in]pointsThe set of obstacle points to add

Implemented in distance_field::PropagationDistanceField.

void distance_field::DistanceField::addShapeToField ( const shapes::Shape shape,
const Eigen::Affine3d &  pose 
)

Adds the set of points corresponding to the shape at the given pose as obstacle points into the distance field. If the shape is an OcTree, the pose information is ignored and the OcTree is passed to the addOcTreeToField function.

This function uses the Body class in the geometric_shapes package to determine the set of obstacle points, with the exception of OcTrees as mentioned. A bounding sphere is computed given the shape; the bounding sphere is iterated through in 3D at the resolution of the distance_field, with each point tested for point inclusion. For more information about the behavior of bodies and poses please see the documentation for geometric_shapes.

Parameters
[in]shapeThe shape to add to the distance field
[in]poseThe pose of the shape

virtual double distance_field::DistanceField::getDistance ( double  x,
double  y,
double  z 
) const
pure virtual

Gets the distance to the closest obstacle at the given location. The particulars of this function are heavily dependent on the behavior of the derived class.

The particular implementation may return a max distance value if a cell is far away from all obstacles. Values of 0.0 should represent that a cell is an obstacle, and some implementations may return a signed value representing distance to the surface when a cell is deep inside an obstacle volume. An implementation may also return some value to represent when a location is outside the represented volume.

Parameters
[in]xThe cell's X value
[in]yThe cell's Y value
[in]zThe cell's Z value
Returns
The distance to the closest obstacle cell

Implemented in distance_field::PropagationDistanceField.

virtual double distance_field::DistanceField::getDistance ( int  x,
int  y,
int  z 
) const
pure virtual

Gets the distance to the closest obstacle at the given integer cell location. The particulars of this function are heavily dependent on the behavior of the derived class.

Parameters
[in]xThe X index of the cell
[in]yThe Y index of the cell
[in]zThe Z index of the cell
Returns
The distance to the closest occupied cell

Implemented in distance_field::PropagationDistanceField.

double distance_field::DistanceField::getDistanceGradient ( double  x,
double  y,
double  z,
double &  gradient_x,
double &  gradient_y,
double &  gradient_z,
bool &  in_bounds 
) const

Gets not only the distance to the nearest cell but the gradient direction. The gradient is computed as a function of the distances of near-by cells. An uninitialized distance is returned if the cell is not valid for gradient production purposes. The gradient is pointing out of the obstacle - thus to recover the closest obstacle point, the normalized gradient value is multiplied by the distance and subtracted from the cell's location, as shown below.

A number of different cells will not have valid gradients. Any cell that is entirely surrounded by cells of the same distance will not have a valid gradient. Depending on the implementation of the distance field, such cells may be found far away from obstacles (if a distance is not computed for every cell), or deep within obstacles. Such points can be detected as having zero magnitude for the gradient.

The closest cell to a given cell can be computed given the following formulation (this value will only be within the resolution parameter of the correct location), including a test for a non-zero gradient magnitude:

Eigen::Vector3d grad;
double dist = distance_field.getDistanceGradient(x,y,z,grad.x(),grad.y(),grad.z(),in_bounds);
if(grad.norm() > 0) {
double closest_point_x = x-(grad.x()/grad.norm())*dist;
double closest_point_y = y-(grad.y()/grad.norm())*dist;
double closest_point_z = z-(grad.z()/grad.norm())*dist;
}
Parameters
[in]xThe X location of the cell
[in]yThe X location of the cell
[in]zThe X location of the cell
[out]gradient_xThe X component of the gradient to the closest occupied cell
[out]gradient_yThe Y component of the gradient to the closest occupied cell
[out]gradient_zThe Z component of the gradient to the closest occupied cell
[out]in_boundsWhether or not the (x,y,z) is valid for gradient purposes. Gradients are not valid at the boundary of the distance field (cells where one or more of the indexes are at 0 or at the maximum size).
Returns
The distance to the closest occupied cell

void distance_field::DistanceField::moveShapeInField ( const shapes::Shape shape,
const Eigen::Affine3d &  old_pose,
const Eigen::Affine3d &  new_pose 
)

Moves the shape in the distance field from the old pose to the new pose, removing points that are no longer obstacle points, and adding points that are now obstacle points at the new pose. This function will discretize both shapes, and call the updatePointsInField function on the old and new point sets.

It's important to note that this function has no semantic understanding of an object - this function may be called even if addShapeToField was not previously called. Furthermore, points will be removed even if they have been added by multiple different sources - a cup resting on a table that is moved make take a chunk out of the top of the table.

Parameters
[in]shapeThe shape to move in the distance field
[in]old_poseThe old pose of the shape
[in]new_poseThe new pose of the shape

Definition at line 287 of file distance_field.cpp.

void distance_field::DistanceField::moveShapeInField ( const shapes::Shape shape,

pure virtual

Reads, parameterizes, and populates the distance field based on the supplied stream.

Parameters

True if reading, parameterizing, and populating the distance field is successful; otherwise False.

Implemented in distance_field::PropagationDistanceField.

virtual void distance_field::DistanceField::removePointsFromField ( const EigenSTL::vector_Vector3d points)
pure virtual

Remove a set of obstacle points from the distance field, updating distance values accordingly.

This function will invalidate the distance measurements associated with the obstacle points and recompute them. Depending on the implementation of the derived class and the proportion of the total occupied points being removed, it may be more efficient to use the reset() function and add the remaining obstacle points to the grid again.

Parameters
[in]pointsThe set of obstacle points that will be set as free

Implemented in distance_field::PropagationDistanceField.

void distance_field::DistanceField::removeShapeFromField ( const shapes::Shape shape,
const Eigen::Affine3d &  pose 
)

All points corresponding to the shape are removed from the distance field.

The points needs not have been added using addShapeToField.

Parameters
[in]shapeThe shape to remove from the distance field
[in]poseThe pose of the shape to remove

virtual void distance_field::DistanceField::reset ( )

Resets all points in the distance field to an uninitialize value.

Implemented in distance_field::PropagationDistanceField.

void distance_field::DistanceField::setPoint ( int  xCell,
int  yCell,
int  zCell,
double  dist,
geometry_msgs::Point &  point,
std_msgs::ColorRGBA &  color,
double  max_distance 
) const
protected

[in]xCellThe x index of the cell
[in]yCellThe y index of the cell
[in]zCellThe z index of the cell

[in]max_distanceThe distance past which all cells will be fully white

Definition at line 445 of file distance_field.cpp.

virtual void distance_field::DistanceField::updatePointsInField ( const EigenSTL::vector_Vector3d old_points,
const EigenSTL::vector_Vector3d new_points 
)
pure virtual

This function will remove any obstacle points that are in the old point set but not the new point set, and add any obstacle points that are in the new block set but not the old block set. Any points that are in both sets are left unchanged.

The primary use case for this function is in moving objects - calculating the set of points associated with an object, moving the object in space, and calculating the new set of points. If the object has moved substantially, such that the old object position does not overlap with the new object position, then it may be more efficient to call removePointsFromField on the old points and addPointsToField on the new points. If the object has moved only slighly, however, this function may offer a speed improvement. All points in the old_points set should have been previously added to the field in order for this function to act as intended - points that are in both the old_points set and the new_points set will not be added to the field, as they are assumed to already be obstacle points.

Parameters
[in]old_pointsThe set of points that all should be obstacle cells in the distance field
[in]new_pointsThe set of points, all of which are intended to be obstacle points in the distance field

Implemented in distance_field::PropagationDistanceField.

virtual bool distance_field::DistanceField::worldToGrid ( double  world_x,
double  world_y,
double  world_z,
int &  x,
int &  y,
int &  z 
) const
pure virtual

Converts from a world location to a set of integer indices. Should return false if the world location is not valid in the distance field, and should populate the index values in either case.

Parameters
[in]world_xThe world X location
[in]world_yThe world Y location
[in]world_zThe world Z location
[out]xThe computed integer X location
[out]yThe computed integer X location
[out]zThe computed integer X location
Returns
