Detailed Description

Class that defines a single laser scanner point.

This class stores data of a single scan point as:

  • cartesian coordinates in the 3D space that are available throw getX(), getY() and getZ() methods.
  • polar coordinates that are the native data provided by a laser scanner. By polar coordinates we mean here the radial distance and the horizontal angle of a point in the scanner layer and an additional vertical angle that gives the orientation of the layer.
Examples:
SickLDMRS-Process.cpp.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

vpScanPoint::vpScanPoint ( )
inline

Default constructor.

Definition at line 76 of file vpScanPoint.h.

vpScanPoint::vpScanPoint ( const vpScanPoint scanpoint)
inline

Copy constructor.

Definition at line 78 of file vpScanPoint.h.

vpScanPoint::vpScanPoint ( double  r_dist,
double  h_angle,
double  v_angle 
)
inline

Set the polar point coordinates.

Parameters
r_dist: Radial distance in meter.
h_angle: Horizontal angle in radian.
v_angle: Vertical angle in radian.

Member Function Documentation

double vpScanPoint::getHAngle ( ) const
inline

Returns the polar elevation (vertical) angle in radian.

Examples:
SickLDMRS-Process.cpp.

Definition at line 124 of file vpScanPoint.h.

double vpScanPoint::getRadialDist ( ) const
inline

Return the radial distance in meter.

Examples:
SickLDMRS-Process.cpp.

Definition at line 112 of file vpScanPoint.h.

double vpScanPoint::getVAngle ( ) const
inline

Returns the polar elevation (vertical) angle in radian.

Definition at line 118 of file vpScanPoint.h.

double vpScanPoint::getX ( ) const
inline

Returns the cartesian x coordinate.

The x and y axis define an horizontal plane, where x is oriented positive in front of the laser while y on the left side.

Definition at line 134 of file vpScanPoint.h.

double vpScanPoint::getY ( ) const
inline

Returns the cartesian y coordinate.

The x and y axis define an horizontal plane, where x is oriented positive in front of the laser while y on the left side.

Definition at line 144 of file vpScanPoint.h.

double vpScanPoint::getZ ( ) const
inline

Returns the cartesian z coordinate.

The z axis is vertical and oriented in direction of the sky.

Definition at line 153 of file vpScanPoint.h.

void vpScanPoint::setPolar ( double  r_dist,
double  h_angle,
double  v_angle 
)
inline

Set the polar point coordinates.

Parameters
r_dist: Radial distance in meter.
h_angle: Horizontal angle in radian.
v_angle: Vertical angle in radian.

Friends And Related Function Documentation

bool operator!= ( const vpScanPoint sp1,
const vpScanPoint sp2 
)
friend

Returns true if sp1 and sp2 are different; otherwire returns false.

Definition at line 188 of file vpScanPoint.h.

std::ostream& operator<< ( std::ostream &  s,
const vpScanPoint p 
)
friend

Print the values of the scan point on the output stream. Data are separated by a white space. Data that are print are first the polar coordinates, than the cartesian coordinates:

  • the radial distance in meter
  • the horizontal angle in radian
  • the vertical angle in radian
  • the cartesian X coordinate
  • the cartesian Y coordinate
  • the cartesian Z coordinate

The following code

#include <iostream>
#include <visp3/sensor/vpScanPoint.h>
int main()
{
double radialDistance = 3; // 3 meters
double horizontalAngle = 1.12; // 1.12 radian
double verticalAngle = 0; // 0 radian for a horizontal layer
p.setPolar(radialDistance, horizontalAngle, verticalAngle);
std::cout << p << std::endl;
}

will produce the prints

"3 1.12 0 1.307047339 2.700301327 0"

Definition at line 248 of file vpScanPoint.h.

bool operator== ( const vpScanPoint sp1,
const vpScanPoint sp2 
)
friend

Returns true if sp1 and sp2 are equal; otherwire returns false.
