Detailed Description

template<class T>
class alvar::Container3d< T >

Generic container to store any information in 3D (features, photos, ...)

You can store any information in 3D using this container. Each element in the container has an unique id that it can be referenced with using operator[](). The indices are from 0 to size(). You can find specific index using GetIndex(Iterator &iter) or GetIndex(T *p) .

In addition the Container3d contains also a 'search space' that can be iterated through using begin() and end(). This 'search space' can be limited using Limit() , sorted using Sort() and reseted using ResetSearchSpace(). You specify what to limit/sort using specified functors. In ALVAR there exists functors Container3dLimitDist , Container3dSortSize and Container3dSortDist . But you can quite well make your own versions (see example below).

The implementation is optimized for a situation where there are a lot of searches between every time the search space is limited/ordered. This is the reason we use vector containers internally. The idea is that later we will improve the class by providing more ways for limiting and sorting the search space; for example Frustum culling.

Usage:

 template <class T>
 class Container3dSortX {
 protected:
        Container3d<T> &container;
 public:
        Container3dSortX(Container3d<T> &_container) : container(_container) {}
        bool operator()(size_t i1, size_t i2) const {
                return (container[i1].first.x < container[i2].first.x);
        }
 };
 template <class T>
 class Container3dLimitX {
 protected:
        int x_min, x_max;
        Container3d<T> &container;
 public:
        Container3dLimitX(Container3d<T> &_container, int _x_min, int _x_max) 
        : container(_container),x_min(_x_min),x_max(_x_max) {}
        bool operator()(size_t i1) const {
                if ((container[i1].first.x >= x_min) && (container[i1].first.x <= x_max)) return true;
                return false;
        }
 };

 c3d.Add(CvPoint3D32f(0,0,0), 0);
