Detailed Description

Dummy version of a generic linear factor to be injected into a nonlinear factor graph.

Member Function Documentation

◆ clone()

NonlinearFactor::shared_ptr gtsam::LinearContainerFactor::clone ( ) const
inlineoverridevirtual

Creates a shared_ptr clone of the factor - needs to be specialized to allow for subclasses.

Clones the underlying linear factor

Reimplemented from gtsam::NonlinearFactor.

◆ dim()

size_t gtsam::LinearContainerFactor::dim ( ) const
overridevirtual

get the dimension of the factor: rows of linear factor

Implements gtsam::NonlinearFactor.

◆ equals()

bool gtsam::LinearContainerFactor::equals ( const NonlinearFactor f,
double  tol = 1e-9 
) const
overridevirtual

Check if two factors are equal.

Reimplemented from gtsam::NonlinearFactor.

◆ error()

double gtsam::LinearContainerFactor::error ( const Values c) const
overridevirtual

Calculate the nonlinear error for the factor, where the error is computed by passing the delta between linearization point and c, where delta = linearizationPoint_.localCoordinates(c), into the error function of the stored linear factor.

Returns
nonlinear error if linearizationPoint present, zero otherwise

Implements gtsam::NonlinearFactor.

◆ linearize()

GaussianFactor::shared_ptr gtsam::LinearContainerFactor::linearize ( const Values c) const
overridevirtual

Linearize to a GaussianFactor, with method depending on the presence of a linearizationPoint.

  • With no linearization point, returns a cloned version of the stored linear factor.
  • With a linearization point provided, returns a relinearized version of the linearized factor.

The relinearization approach used computes a linear delta between the original linearization point and the new values c, where delta = linearizationPoint_.localCoordinates(c), and substitutes this change into the system. This substitution is only really valid for linear variable manifolds, and for any variables based on a non-commutative manifold (such as Pose2, Pose3), the relinearized version will be effective for only small angles.

TODO: better approximation of relinearization TODO: switchable modes for approximation technique

Implements gtsam::NonlinearFactor.

◆ print()

void gtsam::LinearContainerFactor::print ( const std::string &  s = "",
const KeyFormatter keyFormatter = gtsam::DefaultKeyFormatter 
) const
overridevirtual

print

Reimplemented from gtsam::Factor.

◆ rekey() [1/2]

NonlinearFactor::shared_ptr gtsam::LinearContainerFactor::rekey ( const KeyVector new_keys) const
overridevirtual

Parameters
new_keysis the full replacement set of keys

Reimplemented from gtsam::NonlinearFactor.

◆ rekey() [2/2]

NonlinearFactor::shared_ptr gtsam::LinearContainerFactor::rekey ( const std::map< Key, Key > &  rekey_mapping) const
overridevirtual
