fitUsingSimplifiedTheilSen()

CDCTrajectorySZ fitUsingSimplifiedTheilSen

(

const CDCSZObservations &

szObservations

)

const

Fit a linear sz trajectory to the reconstructed stereo segment.

It uses the normal fitting algorithm but does so multiple times: In every iteration, one hit is excluded from the observation set and the rest is fitted. In the end, the mean over the fitting parameters is built and returned.

Does not estimate the covariances of the fit parameters.

TODO:

• Use the median.
• Use RANSAC instead of Theil-Sen.
• Think about the parameters better.

fitWeightedTheilSen()

CDCTrajectorySZ fitWeightedTheilSen

(

const CDCSZObservations &

szObservations

)

const

Implements the weighted Theil-Sen line fit algorithm.

Does not estimate the covariances of the fit parameters.
