Member Function Documentation

◆ calculateEstimate() [1/2]

Values gtsam::ConcurrentBatchFilter::calculateEstimate ( ) const

inline

Compute the current best estimate of all variables and return a full Values structure.

If only a single variable is needed, it may be faster to call calculateEstimate(const KEY&).

◆ calculateEstimate() [2/2]

template<class VALUE >

VALUE gtsam::ConcurrentBatchFilter::calculateEstimate ( Key key ) const

inline

Compute the current best estimate of a single variable.

This is generally faster than calling the no-argument version of calculateEstimate if only specific variables are needed.

Parameters

key

Returns

◆ getSmootherFactors()

void gtsam::ConcurrentBatchFilter::getSmootherFactors	(	NonlinearFactorGraph &	smootherFactors,
		Values &	smootherValues
	)

virtual

Populate the provided containers with factors being sent to the smoother from the filter.

These may be original nonlinear factors, or factors encoding a summarization of the filter information. The specifics will be implementation-specific for a given filter.

Parameters

smootherFactors	The new factors to be added to the smoother
smootherValues	The linearization points of any new variables

Implements gtsam::ConcurrentFilter.

◆ getSummarizedFactors()

void gtsam::ConcurrentBatchFilter::getSummarizedFactors	(	NonlinearFactorGraph &	filterSummarization,
		Values &	filterSummarizationValues
	)

virtual

Populate the provided containers with factors that constitute the filter branch summarization needed by the smoother.

Also, linearization points for the new root clique must be provided.

Parameters

summarizedFactors	The summarized factors for the filter branch
rootValues	The linearization points of the root clique variables

Implements gtsam::ConcurrentFilter.

◆ postsync()

void gtsam::ConcurrentBatchFilter::postsync ( )

virtual

Perform any required operations after the synchronization process finishes.

Called by 'synchronize'

Reimplemented from gtsam::ConcurrentFilter.

◆ presync()

void gtsam::ConcurrentBatchFilter::presync ( )

virtual

Perform any required operations before the synchronization process starts.

Called by 'synchronize'

Reimplemented from gtsam::ConcurrentFilter.

◆ synchronize()

void gtsam::ConcurrentBatchFilter::synchronize	(	const NonlinearFactorGraph &	smootherSummarization,
		const Values &	smootherSummarizationValues
	)

virtual

Apply the updated version of the smoother branch summarized factors.

Parameters

summarizedFactors An updated version of the smoother branch summarized factors

Implements gtsam::ConcurrentFilter.

◆ update()

ConcurrentBatchFilter::Result gtsam::ConcurrentBatchFilter::update	(	const NonlinearFactorGraph &	newFactors = `NonlinearFactorGraph()`,
		const Values &	newTheta = `Values()`,
		const boost::optional< FastList< Key > > &	keysToMove = `boost::none`,
		const boost::optional< std::vector< size_t > > &	removeFactorIndices = `boost::none`
	)

virtual

Add new factors and variables to the filter.

Add new measurements, and optionally new variables, to the filter. This runs a full update step of the derived filter algorithm

Parameters

newFactors	The new factors to be added to the smoother
newTheta	Initialization points for new variables to be added to the filter You must include here all new variables occurring in newFactors that were not already in the filter.
keysToMove	An optional set of keys to move from the filter to the smoother
removeFactorIndices	An optional set of indices corresponding to the factors you want to remove from the graph
