Detailed Description

This class defines shared system methods/attributes for 2D moment features but no functional code. It is used to compute interaction matrices for moment features.

While vpMoment-type classes do only compute moment values and can by used for almost anything, vpFeatureMoment-type classes are specifically designed for visual servoing. More importantly, a vpFeatureMoment is used to compute the interaction matrix associated to it's moment primitive.

This class is virtual and cannot be used directly. It defines the following characteristics common to all moment features:

  • Plane orientation parameters (A,B,C): Each camera frame corresponds to a physical planar object contained in a plane. This plane's equation has the following form: $ A \times x+B \times y + C = \frac{1}{Z} $. These parameters can be updated anytime.
  • Get corresponding moment primitive: for example a vpFeatureMomentCInvariant will provide access to a vpMomentCInvariant instance.
  • Provide access to a feature database (vpFeatureMomentDatabase).
  • All interaction matrices (different from vpBasicFeature::interaction which selects the required interaction matrix).

Like vpMoment, vpFeatureMoment provides a vpFeatureMoment::update() method. But unlike vpMoment::update() which only acknowledges the new object, the vpFeatureMoment::update() acknowledges the new plane parameters AND computes the interaction matrices associated with the feature.

A vpFeatureMoment will be often part of a vpFeatureMomentDatabase in the same way a vpMoment is part of a vpMomentDatabase. This database is specified inside the vpFeatureMoment::vpFeatureMoment() constructor. As a result, a vpFeatureMoment will be able to access other vpFeatureMoments through this database.

A vpBasicFeature can be duplicated into a vpMomentGenericFeature. In that case, all data in the vpBasicFeature is copied but the feature's name is lost. For example if a vpFeatureMomentCInvariant is duplicated, the duplicata will be operational but could not be used in a vpFeatureMomentDatabase.

Note that you can use vpFeatureMoment to do visual servoing but it is not it's only purpose. You may compute your interaction matrices with vpFeatureMoment::update() and use them for any purpose.

Attention
- A vpFeatureMoment is not responsible for updating the moment primitives it depends on. Make sure your vpMoments are all up to date before computing an interaction matrix using vpFeatureMoment.
- Be careful with orders. Often, computing a feature of order n requires vpMoment primitives of order n+1. Make sure to check the documentation of the specialised vpFeatureMoment classes when deciding to which order you want to initialize the object. An object of order 6 should be sufficient for all classic implementations of vpFeatureMoment.

Here is an example of how to use a vpFeatureMoment (in this case vpFeatureMomentBasic).

#include <visp3/core/vpPoint.h>
#include <visp3/core/vpMomentObject.h>
#include <visp3/core/vpMomentBasic.h>
#include <visp3/core/vpMomentDatabase.h>
#include <visp3/visual_features/vpFeatureMoment.h>
#include <visp3/visual_features/vpFeatureMomentBasic.h>
int main()
{
std::vector<vpPoint> vec_p; // vector that contains the vertices
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(3); // Init object of order 3 because we need
// vpFeatureMomentBasic of order 2 which
// implies third-order moment primitives
obj.setType(vpMomentObject::DISCRETE); // Discrete mode for object
obj.fromVector(vec_p);
vpMomentDatabase mdb; //database for moment primitives. This will
//only contain the basic moment.
vpMomentBasic bm; //basic moment (this particular moment is nothing
//more than a shortcut to the vpMomentObject)
bm.linkTo(mdb); //add basic moment to moment database
vpFeatureMomentBasic fmb(mdb,0,0,1,NULL);
//update and compute the vpMoment BEFORE doing any operations with vpFeatureMoment
bm.update(obj);
bm.compute();
fmb.update(0,0,1); //update the vpFeatureMoment with a plane
//configuration
std::cout << fmb.interaction(1,1) << std::endl;
}

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

vpFeatureMoment::vpFeatureMoment ( vpMomentDatabase data_base,
double  A_ = 0.0,
double  B_ = 0.0,
double  C_ = 0.0,
vpFeatureMomentDatabase featureMoments = NULL,
unsigned int  nbmatrices = 1 
)
inline

Initializes the feature with information about the database of moment primitives, the object plane, feature database and matrix size.

Parameters
data_base: Moment database. The database of moment primitives (first parameter) is mandatory. It is used to access different moment values later used to compute the final matrix.
A_: Plane coefficient in a $ A \times x+B \times y + C = \frac{1}{Z} $ plane.
B_: Plane coefficient in a $ A \times x+B \times y + C = \frac{1}{Z} $ plane.
C_: Plane coefficient in a $ A \times x+B \times y + C = \frac{1}{Z} $ plane.
featureMoments: Feature database
nbmatrices: If you want to create a new vpFeatureMoment implementation, your feature will often have a matrix size of n lines. You can specify the number of lines by this parameter.

void vpFeatureMoment::display ( const vpCameraParameters cam,
const vpImage< unsigned char > &  I,
const vpColor color = vpColor::green,
unsigned int  thickness = 1 
) const

Not implemented since visual representation of a moment doesn't often make sense.

Definition at line 123 of file vpFeatureMoment.cpp.

vpBasicFeature * vpFeatureMoment::duplicate ( ) const
virtual

Duplicates the feature into a vpGenericFeature harbouring the same properties. The resulting feature is of vpMomentGenericFeature type. While it still can compute interaction matrices and has acces to it's moment primitive, it has lost all precise information about its precise type and therefore cannot be used in a feature database.

Returns
The corresponding feature.

vpMatrix vpFeatureMoment::interaction ( const unsigned int  select = FEATURE_ALL)
virtual

Retrieves the interaction matrix. No computation is done.

Parameters
select: Feature selector.
Returns
The corresponding interaction matrix.

There is no rule about the format of the feature selector. It may be different for different features. For example, for vpFeatureMomentBasic or vpFeatureMomentCentered features, select may refer to the $ (i,j) $ couple in the $ j \times order + i $ format, but for vpFeatureMomentCInvariant the selector allows to select couples $ (i,j,k,l...) $ in the following format: 1 << i

  • 1 << j + 1 << k + 1 << l.

void vpFeatureMoment::update ( double  A_,
double  B_,
double  C_ 
)

Updates the interaction matrices with the image plane the camera is facing. The plane must be in the format: $ \frac{1}{Z}=Ax+By+C $ . The moment primitives MUST be updated before calling this function.

This method also computes the interaction matrix. Therefore, you must call vpFeatureMoment::update before calling vpFeatureMoment::interaction.

Attention
The behaviour of this method is not the same as vpMoment::update which only acknowledges the new object. This method also computes the interaction matrices.
Parameters
A_: A coefficient of the plane.
B_: B coefficient of the plane.
C_: C coefficient of the plane.
