Detailed Description

This class allows to register all vpMoments so they can access each other according to their dependencies.

Sometimes, a moment needs to have access to other moment's values to be computed. For example vpMomentCentered needs additionnal information about the gravity center vpMomentGravityCenter in order to compute the moment's value from a vpMomentObject. This gravity center should be stored in a vpMomentDatabase where it can be accessed.

All moments in a database can access each other freely at any time. They can also verify if a moment is present in the database or not. Here is a example of a dependency between two moments using a vpMomentDatabase:

#include <visp/vpMomentObject.h>
#include <visp/vpPoint.h>
#include <visp/vpMomentGravityCenter.h>
#include <visp/vpMomentDatabase.h>
#include <visp/vpMomentCentered.h>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
  vpPoint p;
  std::vector<vpPoint> vec_p; // vector that contains the vertices of the contour polygon

  p.set_x(1); p.set_y(1); // coordinates in meters in the image plane (vertex 1)
  vec_p.push_back(p);
  p.set_x(2); p.set_y(2); // coordinates in meters in the image plane (vertex 2)
  vec_p.push_back(p);
  vpMomentObject obj(1); // Create an image moment object with 1 as
             // maximum order (sufficient for gravity center)
  obj.setType(vpMomentObject::DISCRETE); // The object is defined by
                     // two discrete points
  obj.fromVector(vec_p); // Init the dense object with the polygon

  vpMomentDatabase db;
  vpMomentGravityCenter g; // declaration of gravity center
  vpMomentCentered mc; // mc containts centered moments
  
  g.linkTo(db); //add gravity center to database
  mc.linkTo(db); //centered moments depend on gravity, add them to the
         //database to grant access
  
  db.updateAll(obj); // All of the moments must be updated, not just mc
  
  //There is no global compute method since the order of compute calls
  //depends on the implementation
  g.compute(); // compute the moment
  mc.compute(); //compute centered moments AFTER gravity center
  
  std::cout << "Gravity center: " << g << std:: endl; // print gravity center moment
  std::cout << "Centered moments: " << mc << std:: endl; // print centered moment
  
  return 0;
}

The following code outputs:

Gravity center: 
Xg=1.5, Yg=1.5
Centered moments: 
2   0   
0   x

A moment is identified in the database by it's vpMoment::name method. Consequently, a database can contain at most one moment of each type. Often it is useful to update all moments with the same object. Shortcuts (vpMomentDatabase::updateAll) are provided for that matter.

Member Function Documentation

const vpMoment & vpMomentDatabase::get	(	const char *	type,
		bool &	found
	)		const

Retrieves a moment from the database.

Parameters

type	: Name of the moment's class.
found	: true if the moment's type exists in the database, false otherwise.

Returns

Moment corresponding to type.

vpMoment& vpMomentDatabase::get_first ( )

inline

Get the first element in the database. May be useful in case an unnamed object is present but is the only element in the database.

Returns

the first element in the database.

void vpMomentDatabase::updateAll ( vpMomentObject &  object )

virtual

Updates the moment object for all moments in the database

Parameters

object

: Moment object for which all the moments in the database should be updated.

Sometimes, it might be useful to update the whole database when computing only one moment when this moment depends on other moments. The example provided in the header of this class gives an example that shows how to compute gravity center moment and the centered moment using a mass update.

Reimplemented in vpMomentCommon.
