Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ GaussianFactor()

template<typename CONTAINER >
gtsam::GaussianFactor::GaussianFactor ( const CONTAINER &  keys)
inline

Construct from container of keys.

This constructor is used internally from derived factor constructors, either from a container of keys or from a boost::assign::list_of.

Member Function Documentation

◆ augmentedInformation()

virtual Matrix gtsam::GaussianFactor::augmentedInformation ( ) const
pure virtual

Return the augmented information matrix represented by this GaussianFactor.

The augmented information matrix contains the information matrix with an additional column holding the information vector, and an additional row holding the transpose of the information vector. The lower-right entry contains the constant error term (when \( \delta x = 0 \)). The augmented information matrix is described in more detail in HessianFactor, which in fact stores an augmented information matrix.

Implemented in gtsam::HessianFactor, gtsam::JacobianFactor, and gtsam::RegularImplicitSchurFactor< CAMERA >.

◆ augmentedJacobian()

virtual Matrix gtsam::GaussianFactor::augmentedJacobian ( ) const
pure virtual

Return a dense \( [ \;A\;b\; ] \in \mathbb{R}^{m \times n+1} \) Jacobian matrix, augmented with b with the noise models baked into A and b.

The negative log-likelihood is \( \frac{1}{2} \Vert Ax-b \Vert^2 \). See also GaussianFactorGraph::jacobian and GaussianFactorGraph::sparseJacobian.

Implemented in gtsam::HessianFactor, gtsam::JacobianFactor, and gtsam::RegularImplicitSchurFactor< CAMERA >.

◆ getDim()

virtual DenseIndex gtsam::GaussianFactor::getDim ( const_iterator  variable) const
pure virtual

0.5*(A*x-b)'D(A*x-b)

Return the dimension of the variable pointed to by the given key iterator

Implemented in gtsam::JacobianFactor, gtsam::HessianFactor, and gtsam::RegularImplicitSchurFactor< CAMERA >.

◆ jacobian()

virtual std::pair<Matrix,Vector> gtsam::GaussianFactor::jacobian ( ) const
pure virtual

Return the dense Jacobian \( A \) and right-hand-side \( b \), with the noise models baked into A and b.

The negative log-likelihood is \( \frac{1}{2} \Vert Ax-b \Vert^2 \). See also GaussianFactorGraph::augmentedJacobian and GaussianFactorGraph::sparseJacobian.

Implemented in gtsam::HessianFactor, gtsam::JacobianFactor, and gtsam::RegularImplicitSchurFactor< CAMERA >.

◆ negate()

virtual GaussianFactor::shared_ptr gtsam::GaussianFactor::negate ( ) const
pure virtual

Construct the corresponding anti-factor to negate information stored stored in this factor.

Returns
a HessianFactor with negated Hessian matrices

Implemented in gtsam::RegularImplicitSchurFactor< CAMERA >, gtsam::JacobianFactor, and gtsam::HessianFactor.

◆ updateHessian()

virtual void gtsam::GaussianFactor::updateHessian ( const KeyVector keys,
SymmetricBlockMatrix info 
) const
pure virtual

Update an information matrix by adding the information corresponding to this factor (used internally during elimination).

Parameters
scatterA mapping from variable index to slot index in this HessianFactor
infoThe information matrix to be updated

Implemented in gtsam::HessianFactor, gtsam::JacobianFactor, gtsam::RegularImplicitSchurFactor< CAMERA >, and gtsam::BinaryJacobianFactor< M, N1, N2 >.
