Detailed Description

A parameter line including including an line covariance matrix which is interpreted as located in the support point.

Definition at line 24 of file UncertainParameterLine2D.h.

Member Function Documentation

moveSupportBy()

void moveSupportBy ( double  byAt )

inline

Moves the coordinate system by the vector by and calculates the new line and its covariance matrix.

Change is inplace.

Definition at line 171 of file UncertainParameterLine2D.h.

      {
        // Move the covariance matrix first to have access to the original parameters
        LineJacobian jacobian = moveSupportByJacobian(byAt);
        LineUtil::transport(jacobian, m_lineCovariance);
        m_parameterLine2D.passiveMoveAtBy(byAt);
      }

operator->()

const ParameterLine2D* operator-> ( ) const

inline

Access to the constant interface of the underlying parameter line Allows the user of this "super" class to use the getters and other methods to get inforamation about the line but disallows mutation of internal state.

This ensures that the parameters are not changed without proper adjustment to the covariance matrix in this class, which can be achieved by the more limited set of methods in this class accessable by normal . method calls

Definition at line 53 of file UncertainParameterLine2D.h.

passiveMoveBy()

void passiveMoveBy ( const Vector2D &  by )

inline

Moves the coordinate system by the vector by.

Because the covariance matrix is pinned in the support point it does not change in this move operation
