dellaert c4bf680e96 Cached Rot3::transpose(). Inspired by @cbeall3 fix of Unit3, I realized that with one million points and 1000 cameras, the same Matrix3 (R_.transpose()) was computed a 1000 more times than needed. Especially with quaternions this would be expensive, even with Rot3Q.		2014-10-15 11:51:41 +02:00

README - Georgia Tech Smoothing and Mapping library

What is GTSAM?

GTSAM is a library of C++ classes that implement smoothing and mapping (SAM) in robotics and vision, using factor graphs and Bayes networks as the underlying computing paradigm rather than sparse matrices.

On top of the C++ library, GTSAM includes a MATLAB interface (enable GTSAM_INSTALL_MATLAB_TOOLBOX in CMake to build it). A Python interface is under development.

Quickstart

In the root library folder execute:

#!bash
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make check (optional, runs unit tests)
$ make install

Prerequisites:

Boost >= 1.43 (Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev)
CMake >= 2.6 (Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install cmake)

Optional prerequisites - used automatically if findable by CMake:

Intel Threaded Building Blocks (TBB) (Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install libtbb-dev)
Intel Math Kernel Library (MKL)

Additional Information

See the INSTALL file for more detailed installation instructions.

GTSAM is open source under the BSD license, see the LICENSE and LICENSE.BSD files.

Please see the examples/ directory and the USAGE file for examples on how to use GTSAM.
