gtsam::NonlinearFactorGraph Class Reference

Detailed Description

A non-linear factor graph is a graph of non-Gaussian, i.e.

non-linear factors, which derive from NonlinearFactor. The values structures are typically (in SAM) more general than just vectors, e.g., Rot3 or Pose3, which are objects in non-linear manifolds. Linearizing the non-linear factor graph creates a linear factor graph on the tangent vector space at the linearization point. Because the tangent space is a true vector space, the config type will be an VectorValues in that linearized factor graph.

Member Function Documentation

◆ addExpressionFactor()

template<typename T >
void gtsam::NonlinearFactorGraph::addExpressionFactor ( const SharedNoiseModel R,
const T &  z,
const Expression< T > &  h 
)
inline

Directly add ExpressionFactor that implements |h(x)-z|^2_R.

Parameters
hexpression that implements measurement function
zmeasurement
Rmodel

◆ linearizeToHessianFactor()

HessianFactor::shared_ptr gtsam::NonlinearFactorGraph::linearizeToHessianFactor ( const Values values,
boost::optional< Ordering & >  ordering = boost::none,
const Dampen dampen = nullptr 
) const

Instead of producing a GaussianFactorGraph, pre-allocate and linearize directly into a HessianFactor.

Avoids the many mallocs and pointer indirection in constructing a new graph, and hence useful in case a dense solve is appropriate for your problem. An optional ordering can be given that still decides how the Hessian is laid out. An optional lambda function can be used to apply damping on the filled Hessian. No parallelism is exploited, because all the factors write in the same memory.

◆ orderingCOLAMDConstrained()

Ordering gtsam::NonlinearFactorGraph::orderingCOLAMDConstrained ( const FastMap< Key, int > &  constraints) const

Compute a fill-reducing ordering with constraints using CCOLAMD.

Parameters
constraintsis a map of Key->group, where 0 is unconstrained, and higher group numbers are further back in the ordering. Only keys with nonzero group indices need to appear in the constraints, unconstrained is assumed for all other variables

◆ probPrime()

double gtsam::NonlinearFactorGraph::probPrime ( const Values values) const

Unnormalized probability.

O(n)

◆ rekey()

NonlinearFactorGraph gtsam::NonlinearFactorGraph::rekey ( const std::map< Key, Key > &  rekey_mapping) const

Rekey() performs a deep-copy of all of the factors, and changes keys according to a mapping.

Keys not specified in the mapping will remain unchanged.

Parameters
rekey_mappingis a map of old->new keys
Returns
a cloned graph with updated keys

◆ updateCholesky()

Values gtsam::NonlinearFactorGraph::updateCholesky ( const Values values,
boost::optional< Ordering & >  ordering = boost::none,
const Dampen dampen = nullptr 
) const

Linearize and solve in one pass.

Calls linearizeToHessianFactor, densely solves the normal equations, and updates the values.
