GTSAM - Georgia Tech Smoothing and Mapping Library
|
|
|
|
MATLAB wrapper
|
|
|
|
http://borg.cc.gatech.edu/projects/gtsam
|
|
================================================================================
|
|
|
|
This is the GTSAM MATLAB toolbox, a MATLAB wrapper around the GTSAM C++
|
|
library. To build it, enable GTSAM_INSTALL_MATLAB_TOOLBOX in CMake.
|
|
|
|
The interface to the toolbox is generated automatically by the wrap
|
|
tool which directly parses C++ header files. The tool generates matlab
|
|
proxy objects together with all the native functions for wrapping and
|
|
unwrapping scalar and non scalar types and objects. The interface
|
|
generated by the wrap tool also redirects the standard output stream
|
|
(cout) to matlab's console.

|
----------------------------------------
|
|
Note about newer Ubuntu versions unsupported by MATLAB (later than 10.04)
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
If you have a newer Ubuntu system, you must make a small modification to your
|
|
MATLAB installation, due to MATLAB being distributed with an old version of
|
|
the C++ standard library. Delete or rename all files starting with
|
|
'libstdc++' in your MATLAB installation directory, in paths:
|
|
|
|
/usr/local/MATLAB/[version]/sys/os/[system]/
|
|
/usr/local/MATLAB/[version]/bin/[system]/
|
|
|
|
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|
Adding the toolbox to your MATLAB path
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
To get started, first add the 'toolbox' folder to your MATLAB path - in the
|
|
MATLAB file browser, right-click on the folder and click 'Add to path -> This
|
|
folder' (do not add the subfolders to your path).
|
|
|
|
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|
Trying out the examples
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The examples are located in the 'gtsam_examples' subfolder. You may either
|
|
run them individually at the MATLAB command line, or open the GTSAM example
|
|
GUI by running 'gtsamExamples'. Example:
|
|
|
|
>> cd /Users/yourname/toolbox % Change to wherever you installed the toolbox
|
|
>> cd gtsam_examples % Change to the examples directory
|
|
>> gtsamExamples % Run the GTSAM examples GUI
|
|
|
|
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|
Running the unit tests
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The GTSAM MATLAB toolbox also has a small set of unit tests located in the
|
|
gtsam_tests directory. Example:
|
|
|
|
>> cd /Users/yourname/toolbox % Change to wherever you installed the toolbox
|
|
>> cd gtsam_tests % Change to the examples directory
|
|
>> test_gtsam % Run the unit tests

Writing your own code
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Coding for the GTSAM MATLAB toolbox is straightforward and very fast once you
|
|
understand a few basic concepts! Please see the manual to get started.
