Detailed Description

Tools for pose computation from any feature.

This class allows to estimate a pose by virtual visual servoing from visual features. The features that are considered are points, segments, lines, ellipses. If the compiler is compatible with C++ 11, it is possible to introduce specific features that are not directly implemented in ViSP.

Examples:
testPoseFeatures.cpp.
