Method Details

public GaussianCanonical BayesianInference(ExtendedKalmanSensorModel<Z> model, Z observation, GaussianCanonical belief)
Updates a belief with a sensor model and a sensor. This function allows you to update a belief that is different than the filter belief with a sensor model that is different than the filter sensor model.

Parameters:

model - The sensor model to use for the belief update.
observation - The observation to use for the belief update.
belief - The belief to update.

Returns:

The posterior belief after applying the action to the prior belief.

public GaussianCanonical Marginalize(ExtendedKalmanActionModel<U> model, U action, GaussianCanonical belief)
Updates a belief with an action model and an action. This function allows you to update a belief that is different than the filter belief with an action model that is different than the filter action model.

Parameters:

model - The action model to use for the belief update.
action - The action to use for the belief update.
belief - The belief to update.

Returns:

The posterior belief after applying the action to the prior belief.

public final virtual void UpdateBeliefWithAction(U action)
Uses an action to transition the current x belief to a new x belief. This process decreases the precision of the action model Jacobian error.

Parameters:

action - The action used to change the x.

public final virtual void UpdateBeliefWithObservation(Z observation)
Updates the x belief with an x. The new x incorporates the uncertainty of the current belief and the error of the x. Observation increases the precision of the belief.

Parameters:

observation - The observation used to update the x.
