Detailed Description

template<typename T>
class pcl::GenericVector< T >

GenericVector is a lightweight template class implementing a vector of arbitrary length. This class provides the following main features:

  • Implicit data sharing with reference counting and copy-on-write functionality. GenericVector instances can safely be passed as function return values and by-value function arguments.
  • Thread-safe. GenericVector instances can safely be accessed from multiple threads. The reference counter implements atomic reference and dereference operations.
  • Efficient vector storage and access to vector elements. Vector elements are allocated as a single, contiguous memory block.
  • Support for a large set of vector operations, including scalar-to-vector and vector-to-vector arithmetic operations, dot and cross products.
  • Calculation of a variety of descriptive statistics of vector components.

◆ Angle2D()

template<typename T >
double pcl::GenericVector< T >::Angle2D ( const GenericVector< T > &  v) const
inlinenoexcept

Returns the angle between this vector and another vector v, with both vectors being defined in two-dimensional space.

The returned value is the angle between both vectors in radians, in the range [-pi,+pi].

Note
This member function is only defined for vectors of two components. For performance reasons, this condition is not verified; if it doesn't hold, this function will invoke undefined behavior.

Definition at line 2197 of file Vector.h.

◆ Angle3D() [1/2]

inlinenoexcept

Returns the angle between this vector and another vector v, with both vectors being defined in three-dimensional space.

The returned value is the angle between both vectors in radians, in the range [0,pi].

Note
This member function is only defined for vectors of three components. For performance reasons, this condition is not verified; if it doesn't hold, this function will invoke undefined behavior.

Definition at line 2221 of file Vector.h.

References pcl::ArcTan().

◆ Angle3D() [2/2]

Returns the angle between this vector and another vector v, being both vectors defined in three-dimensional space, with sign determined by the direction of an additional 3D vector n.

The returned value is the angle between both vectors in radians, in the range [-pi,+pi]. The angle is positive if this vector is clockwise with respect to the direction of n, negative otherwise.

Note
This member function is only defined for vectors of three components. For performance reasons, this condition is not verified; if it doesn't hold, this function will invoke undefined behavior.

Definition at line 2242 of file Vector.h.

◆ Assign()

template<typename T >
void pcl::GenericVector< T >::Assign ( const GenericVector< T > &  x)
inline

Assigns a vector x to this object.

If this instance and the specified source instance x reference different vector data, the data previously referenced by this object is dereferenced. If the previous data becomes unreferenced, it is destroyed and deallocated. Then the data being referenced by x is also referenced by this object.

If this instance and the specified source instance x already reference the same vector data, then this function does nothing.

Definition at line 324 of file Vector.h.

◆ At() [1/2]

template<typename T >
iterator pcl::GenericVector< T >::At ( int  i)
inline

Returns a mutable vector iterator pointing to the i-th component of this vector.

◆ AvgDev() [1/2]

template<typename T >
double pcl::GenericVector< T >::AvgDev ( ) const
inline

Returns the average absolute deviation from the median.

The mean absolute deviation from the median is a well-known estimator of dispersion.

For vectors with less than two components, this function returns zero.

Note
To make the average absolute deviation about the median consistent with the standard deviation of a normal distribution, it must be multiplied by the constant 1.2533.

Definition at line 1394 of file Vector.h.

References pcl::AvgDev().

◆ AvgDev() [2/2]

template<typename T >
double pcl::GenericVector< T >::AvgDev ( double  center) const
inlinenoexcept

Returns the average absolute deviation with respect to the specified center value.

When the median of the vector elements is used as the center value, this function returns the average absolute deviation from the median, which is a well-known estimator of dispersion.

For vectors with less than two components, this function returns zero.

Note
To make the average absolute deviation about the median consistent with the standard deviation of a normal distribution, it must be multiplied by the constant 1.2533.

Definition at line 1357 of file Vector.h.

References pcl::AvgDev().

◆ Begin() [1/2]

template<typename T >
iterator pcl::GenericVector< T >::Begin ( )
inline

template<typename T >
const_iterator pcl::GenericVector< T >::begin ( ) const
inlinenoexcept

STL-compatible iteration. Equivalent to Begin() const.

Definition at line 2057 of file Vector.h.

◆ BendMidvariance() [1/2]

template<typename T >
double pcl::GenericVector< T >::BendMidvariance ( double  beta = 0.2) const
inline

Returns a percentage bend midvariance (PBMV) with respect to the median.

Parameters
betaRejection parameter in the [0,0.5] range. Higher values improve robustness to outliers (i.e., increase the breakdown point of the estimator) at the expense of a lower efficiency. The default value is beta=0.2.

The square root of the percentage bend midvariance is a robust estimator of scale. With the default beta=0.2, its Gaussian efficiency is 67%. With beta=0.1, its efficiency is 85% but its breakdown is only 0.1.

For vectors with less than two components, this function returns zero.

template<typename T >
double pcl::GenericVector< T >::BendMidvariance ( double  center,
double  beta = 0.2 
) const
inline

Returns a percentage bend midvariance (PBMV).

Parameters

◆ BiweightMidvariance() [1/2]

template<typename T >
double pcl::GenericVector< T >::BiweightMidvariance ( double  center,
double  sigma,
int  k = 9,
bool  reducedLength = false 
) const
inlinenoexcept

Returns the biweight midvariance (BWMV).

Parameters
centerReference center value. Normally, the median of the vector components should be used.
sigmaA reference estimate of dispersion. Normally, the median absolute deviation from the median (MAD) of the vector components should be used.
kRejection limit in sigma units. The default value is k=9.
reducedLengthIf true, reduce the sample size to exclude rejected vector components. This tends to approximate the true dispersion of the data more accurately for relatively small samples, or samples with large amounts of outliers. Note that this departs from the standard definition of biweight midvariance, where the total number of data items is used to scale the variance estimate. If false, use the full vector length, including rejected components, which gives a standard biweight midvariance estimate.

The square root of the biweight midvariance is a robust estimator of scale. It is an efficient estimator with respect to many statistical distributions (about 87% Gaussian efficiency), and appears to have a breakdown point close to 0.5 (the same as MAD).

For vectors with less than two components, this function returns zero.

◆ BiweightMidvariance() [2/2]

template<typename T >
double pcl::GenericVector< T >::BiweightMidvariance ( int  k = 9,
bool  reducedLength = false 
) const
inline

Returns the biweight midvariance (BWMV) with respect to the median and the median absolute deviation from the median (MAD).

Parameters
kRejection limit in sigma units. The default value is k=9.
reducedLengthIf true, reduce the sample size to exclude rejected vector components. This tends to approximate the true dispersion of the data more accurately for relatively small samples, or samples with large amounts of outliers. Note that this departs from the standard definition of biweight midvariance, where the total number of data items is used to scale the variance estimate. If false, use the full vector length, including rejected components, which gives a standard biweight midvariance estimate.

The square root of the biweight midvariance is a robust estimator of scale. It is an efficient estimator with respect to many statistical distributions (about 87% Gaussian efficiency), and appears to have a breakdown point close to 0.5 (the same as MAD).

For vectors with less than two components, this function returns zero.

◆ Clear()

template<typename T >
void pcl::GenericVector< T >::Clear ( )
inline

Deallocates vector data, yielding an empty vector.

Definition at line 288 of file Vector.h.

◆ ComponentPtr()

template<typename T >
iterator pcl::GenericVector< T >::ComponentPtr ( int  i)
inlinenoexcept

Returns a pointer to the ith component in this vector.

All vector components are guaranteed to be stored at consecutive locations addressable from the iterator returned by this function.

This member function does not ensure that the data referenced by this vector is unique. See DataPtr() for more information on how to use this member function.

◆ ConstBegin()

template<typename T >
const_iterator pcl::GenericVector< T >::ConstBegin ( ) const

◆ Contains()

template<typename T >
bool pcl::GenericVector< T >::Contains ( const component x) const
inlinenoexcept

Returns true iff this vector contains the specified value x.

References pcl::LinearSearch().

◆ Cross()

template<typename T >
GenericVector pcl::GenericVector< T >::Cross ( const GenericVector< T > &  v2) const
inline

Returns the cross product of this vector and a vector v2.

Note
The cross product is only defined for vectors of three components. For performance reasons, this function does not check vector lengths. For vectors of length < 3, this function will invoke undefined behavior.

Definition at line 665 of file Vector.h.

References pcl::GenericVector< T >::Length().

◆ DataPtr()

template<typename T >
iterator pcl::GenericVector< T >::DataPtr ( )
inlinenoexcept

Returns a pointer to the first component in this vector.

The returned pointer can be used as a common C array, where all vector components are guaranteed to be stored consecutively starting from the pointer returned by this function.

This member function does nothing to ensure that this instance uniquely references its vector data. Consequently, the caller must take into account that all modifications made to vector components accessed through the value returned by this function will apply to all instances sharing the same vector data.

This function can be used to perform fast operations on vector components avoiding the overhead caused by deep copies of vector data, when such copies are not necessary. Typically this happens when two or more threads work simultaneously on non-overlapping regions of the same vector.

Definition at line 2025 of file Vector.h.

◆ Dot()

template<typename T >
scalar pcl::GenericVector< T >::Dot ( const GenericVector< T > &  v) const
inlinenoexcept

Returns the dot product of this vector and a vector v.

Note
For performance reasons, this function does not check whether the specified vector has at least the same number of components as this vector. If that condition does not hold, this function will invoke undefined behavior.

Definition at line 645 of file Vector.h.

◆ End() [1/2]

template<typename T >
iterator pcl::GenericVector< T >::End ( )
inline

Returns a mutable iterator past the last vector component, i.e. a pointer to a (nonexistent) component located at index=Length().

All vector components are guaranteed to be stored in reverse order at consecutive locations addressable from the iterator returned by this function.

Before returning, this function ensures that this instance uniquely references its vector data.

◆ End() [2/2]

template<typename T >
const_iterator pcl::GenericVector< T >::End ( ) const
inlinenoexcept

All vector components are guaranteed to be stored in reverse order at consecutive locations addressable from the iterator returned by this function.

Definition at line 1973 of file Vector.h.

◆ end() [2/2]

template<typename T >
const_iterator pcl::GenericVector< T >::end ( ) const
inlinenoexcept

STL-compatible iteration. Equivalent to End() const.

Definition at line 2073 of file Vector.h.

◆ EnsureUnique()

template<typename T >
void pcl::GenericVector< T >::EnsureUnique ( )
inline

Ensures that this instance uniquely references its vector data.

If necessary, this member function generates a duplicate of the vector data, references it, and then decrements the reference counter of the original vector data.

Definition at line 1764 of file Vector.h.

◆ Find()

template<typename T >
int pcl::GenericVector< T >::Find ( const component x) const
inlinenoexcept

Returns the index of the first vector element with the specified value x, or -1 if this vector does not contain such value.

◆ ToCommaSeparated()

template<typename T >
template<class S >
S& pcl::GenericVector< T >::ToCommaSeparated ( S &  s) const

◆ ToSeparated() [1/2]

template<typename T >
template<class S , typename SP >
S& pcl::GenericVector< T >::ToSeparated ( S &  s,
SP  separator 
) const
inline

Generates a sequence of string tokens separated with the specified separator string. Returns a reference to the target string s.

For each vector component, this function appends a string representation (known as a token) to the target string s. If the vector has more than one component, successive tokens are separated with the specified separator.

The string type S must have a meaningful Append() member function and type conversion semantics to transform a vector component to a string. The standard String and IsoString PCL classes provide the required functionality for most scalar types, although it is probably better to use String::ToSeparated() and IsoString::ToSeparated() instead of calling these functions directly.

◆ ToSeparated() [2/2]

template<typename T >
template<class S , typename SP , class AF >
S& pcl::GenericVector< T >::ToSeparated ( S &  s,
SP  separator,
AF  append 
) const
inline

Generates a sequence of string tokens separated with the specified separator string by calling an append function. Returns a reference to the target string s.

For each vector component x, this function appends a string representation (known as a token) to the target string s by calling the append function:

append( s, S( x ) );

If the vector has more than one component, successive tokens are separated by calling:

append( s, S( separator ) );

The string type S must have type conversion semantics to transform a vector component to a string. The standard String and IsoString PCL classes provide the required functionality for most scalar types, although it is probably better to use String::ToSeparated() and IsoString::ToSeparated() instead of calling these functions directly.

◆ ToSpherical()

template<typename T >
template<typename T1 , typename T2 >
void pcl::GenericVector< T >::ToSpherical ( T1 &  lon,
T2 &  lat 
) const
inlinenoexcept

Computes spherical coordinates from this three-component vector.

Parameters
[out]lonReference to a variable where the computed longitude in radians, in the range [-pi,+pi], will be stored. If the vector points to one pole, that is, if *lat is either -pi/2 or +pi/2, the computed longitude will be zero.
[out]latReference to a variable where the computed latitude in radians, in the range [-pi/2,+pi/2], will be stored.

This function requires a vector with at least three coordinates. For performance reasons, the vector length is not verified.

The returned coordinates lie on a sphere of unit radius, that is, only the direction of the input vector is taken into account, never its magnitude.

◆ Transfer() [1/2]

template<typename T >
void pcl::GenericVector< T >::Transfer ( GenericVector< T > &&  x)
inline

Transfers data from another vector x to this object.

Decrements the reference counter of the current vector data. If the data becomes unreferenced, it is destroyed and deallocated. The vector data referenced by the source object x is then transferred to this object, and the source object x is left as an invalid empty vector.

Warning
The source vector x will be an invalid object after calling this function, and hence should be destroyed immediately. Any attempt to access an invalid object will most likely lead to a crash.
