void isam::Optimizer::batch_optimize ( const Properties prop,
int *  num_iterations

const Eigen::VectorXd &  h_sd,
const Eigen::VectorXd &  h_gn,
double  delta,
double &  gain_ratio_denominator 
) [private]

Computes and returns the dog-leg step given the parameter alpha, the trust region radius delta, and the steepest-descent and Gauss-Newton steps. Also computes and returns the value of the denominator that will be used to compute the gain ratio.

VectorXd isam::Optimizer::compute_gauss_newton_step ( const SparseSystem jacobian,
SparseSystem R = NULL,
double  lambda = 0. 
) [private]

Helper method for computing the Gauss-Newton step h_{gn} in Gauss-Newton, Levenberg-Marquardt, and Powell's dog-leg algorithms in batch mode. Specifically, this function can compute the Gauss-Newton step h_gn as part of the factorization of the relinearized SparseSystem computed at each iteration of batch processing algorithm.

Parameters:
jacobianThe SparseSystem representing the linearization
R
lambda
Returns:
h_gn

void isam::Optimizer::levenberg_marquardt ( const Properties prop,
int *  num_iterations = NULL 
) [private]

Perform Levenberg-Marquardt

Parameters:
propProperties including stopping criteria max_iterations and epsilon, and lm_... parameters
num_iterationsUpon return, contains number of iterations performed.

void isam::Optimizer::permute_vector ( const Eigen::VectorXd &  v,
Eigen::VectorXd &  p,
const int *  permutation 
) [private]

Given an input vector v and an array of ints representing a permutation, applies the permutation to the elements of v and returns the permuted vector

Parameters:
vInput vector.
permutationAn array of ints representing the permutation to be applied to the elements of v.
Returns:
The returned permuted vector p satisfies p(permutation[i]) = v(i) i.e., p is formed by mapping the ith element of v to the permutation[i]-th element of p.

double  delta0 = 1.0,
int  max_iterations = 0,
double  epsilon1 = 1e-4,
double  epsilon2 = 1e-4,
double  epsilon3 = 1e-4 
) [private]

Powell's dog leg algorithm, a trust region method that combines Gauss-Newton and steepest descent, similar to Levenberg-Marquardt, but requiring less iterations (matrix factorizations). See Manolis05iccv for a comparison to LM. Implemented according to Madsen, Nielson, Tingleff, "Methods for Non-Linear Least Squares Problems", lecture notes, Denmark, 2004 (http://www2.imm.dtu.dk/pubdb/views/edoc_download.php/3215/pdf/imm3215.pdf).

Parameters:
num_iterationsContains number of iterations on return if not NULL.
delta0Initial trust region.
max_iterationsMaximum number of iterations (0 means unlimited).
epsilon1
epsilon2
epsilon3

void isam::Optimizer::relinearize ( const Properties prop)

Computes the Jacobian J(x_est) of the residual error function about the current estimate x_est, computes the thin QR factorization of J(x_est), and then stores (R,d) as a SparseSystem, where

Q^t f(x_est) = | d | | e |

and || e ||^2 is the squared residual error.

NOTA BENE: (Deeply) Internally, this algorithm uses the SuiteSparse library to perform the matrix decomposition shown above. The SuiteSparse library utilizes variable reordering in order to reduce fill-in and boost efficiency. Consequently, the ordering (i.e., naming) of variables in the SparseSystem computed by this function differs from the ordering (naming) of the variables in the Graph object contained in the Slam class.

The mappings between the two orderings can be obtained using OrderedSparseMatrix::a_to_r() and OrderedSparseMatrix::r_to_a(). These functions return const int*'s that point to internal arrays encoding the permutation between the naming of variables passed in to the factorization routine, and the naming of variables in the factored matrices returned by the relinearization.

More precisely, if

const int* order = function_system._R.a_to_r();

then the variable x_i from the Graph object stored the Slam class is mapped to the variable x_{order[i]} in the SparseSystem obtained after linearization.

The call

const int* inverse_order = function_system._R.r_to_a();

retrieves the inverse permutation.
