What is GTSAM?
GTSAM is a library of C++ classes that implement smoothing and
mapping (SAM) in robotics and vision, using factor graphs and Bayes
networks as the underlying computing paradigm rather than sparse
matrices.
GTSAM is not (yet) open source: See COPYING & LICENSE
Please see USAGE for an example on how to use GTSAM.
The library is organized according to the following directory structure:
3rdparty local copies of third party libraries - Eigen3 and CCOLAMD
base provides some base Math and data structures, as well as test-related utilities
geometry points, poses, tensors, etc
inference core graphical model inference such as factor graphs, junction trees, Bayes nets, Bayes trees
linear inference specialized to Gaussian linear case, GaussianFactorGraph etc...
nonlinear non-linear factor graphs and non-linear optimization
slam SLAM and visual SLAM application code
This library contains unchanged copies of two third party libraries, with documentation
of licensing as follows:
- CCOLAMD 2.73: Tim Davis' constrained column approximate minimum degree ordering library
- http://www.cise.ufl.edu/research/sparse
- Licenced under LGPL v2.1, provided in gtsam/3rdparty/CCOLAMD/Doc/lesser.txt
- Eigen 3.2: General C++ matrix and linear algebra library
- Licenced under MPL2, provided in gtsam/3rdparty/Eigen/COPYING.README (some code that is 3rd-party to
Eigen is BSD and LGPL)
There are two supporting libraries:
CppUnitLite unit test library customized for use with gtsam
wrap code generation utility for the Matlab interface to gtsam
