# GTSAM Examples
|
|
|
|
This directory contains all GTSAM C++ examples GTSAM pertaining to SFM
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Basic Examples:
|
|
|
|
* **SimpleRotation**: a simple example of optimizing a single rotation according to a single prior
|
|
* **CameraResectioning**: resection camera from some known points
|
|
* **SFMExample**: basic structure from motion
|
|
* **SFMExample_bal**: same, but read data from read from BAL file
|
|
* **SelfCalibrationExample**: Do SFM while also optimizing for calibration
|
|
|
|
## Stereo Visual Odometry Examples
|
|
Visual odometry using a stereo rig:
|
|
|
|
* **StereoVOExample**: basic example of stereo VO
|
|
* **StereoVOExample_large**: larger, with a snippet of Kitti data
|
|
|
|
## More Advanced Examples
|
|
The following examples illustrate some concepts from Georgia Tech's research papers, listed in the references section at the end:
|
|
|
|
* **VisualISAMExample**: uses iSAM [TRO08]
|
|
* **VisualISAM2Example**: uses iSAM2 [IJRR12]
|
|
* **SFMExample_SmartFactor**: uses smartFactors [ICRA14]
|
|
|
|
## Kalman Filter Examples
|
|
* **elaboratePoint2KalmanFilter**: simple linear Kalman filter on a moving 2D point, but done using factor graphs
|
|
* **easyPoint2KalmanFilter**: uses the generic templated Kalman filter class to do the same
|
|
* **fullStateKalmanFilter**: simple 1D example with a full-state filter
|
|
* **errorStateKalmanFilter**: simple 1D example of a moving target measured by a accelerometer, incl. drift-rate bias
|
|
|
|
## 2D Pose SLAM
|
|
|
|
* **LocalizationExample.cpp**: modeling robot motion
|
|
* **LocalizationExample2.cpp**: example with GPS like measurements
|
|
* **Pose2SLAMExample**: A 2D Pose SLAM example using the predefined typedefs in gtsam/slam/pose2SLAM.h
|
|
* **Pose2SLAMExample_advanced**: same, but uses an Optimizer object
|
|
* **Pose2SLAMwSPCG**: solve a simple 3 by 3 grid of Pose2 SLAM problem by using easy SPCG interface
|
|
|
|
## Planar SLAM with landmarks
|
|
* **PlanarSLAMExample**: simple robotics example using the pre-built planar SLAM domain
|
|
* **PlanarSLAMExample_selfcontained**: simple robotics example with all typedefs internal to this script.
|
|
|
|
## Visual SLAM
|
|
|
|
The directory **vSLAMexample** includes 2 simple examples using GTSAM:
|
|
|
|
- **vSFMexample** using visual SLAM for structure-from-motion (SFM)
|
|
- **vISAMexample** using visual SLAM and ISAM for incremental SLAM updates
|
|
|
|
See the separate README file there.
|
|
|
|
##Undirected Graphical Models (UGM)
|
|
The best representation for a Markov Random Field is a factor graph :-) This is illustrated with some discrete examples from the UGM MATLAB toolbox, which
|
|
can be found at <http://www.di.ens.fr/~mschmidt/Software/UGM>
|
|
|
|
|
|
##Building and Running
|
|
To build, cd into the directory and do:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
mkdir build
|
|
cd build
|
|
cmake ..
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For each .cpp file in this directory two make targets are created, one to build the executable, and one to build and run it. For example, the file `CameraResectioning.cpp` contains simple example to resection a camera from 4 known points. You can build it using
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
make CameraResectioning
|
|
```
|
|
or build and run it immediately with
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
make CameraResectioning.run
|
|
```
|
|
which should output:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Final result:
|
|
Values with 1 values:
|
|

|
1, 0.0, 0.0,
|
|
0.0, -1, 0.0,

|
|
t: [0, 0, 2]';
