Frank Dellaert 5e00c58ea7 Baker–Campbell–Hausdorff formula: in non-commutative Lie groups, when composing exp(Z) = exp(X)exp(Y) it is not true that Z = X+Y. Instead, Z can be calculated using the BCH formula:
Z = X + Y + [X,Y]/2 + [X-Y,[X,Y]]/12 - [Y,[X,[X,Y]]]/24 + ...

Richard Roberts b82d054aaa Definitions of Lie::between, Pose2::compose, expmap, and derivatives were not correct. Fixed, but changes some behavior (iSAM and CitySLAM already fixed), will send email about this change. 2010-01-26 20:00:17 +00:00
Frank Dellaert 8088aea598 Added double as Lie type, needed to remove Lie.h include from Vector.h 2010-01-14 05:58:58 +00:00
Richard Roberts 1dcc864d97 Comment cleanup to /** style and adding global print functions 2010-01-10 22:41:23 +00:00
Frank Dellaert 92c58e50a1 Small changes, mainly const correctness 2010-01-10 14:59:22 +00:00
Frank Dellaert ec1b57ed08 Added Lie required functions (trivial) for Vector. Not in Vector.h as this becomes circular. 2010-01-10 12:22:59 +00:00
Richard Roberts 4fa53a1f79 Merging lieconfig branch - LieConfig works but currently requires Lie objects to have a global print function. 2010-01-10 06:35:16 +00:00
Richard Roberts 2b82ff65e7 Deriving Lie objects from a base class Lie<T>, which provides member functions to access global functions, for use in MATLAB. 2010-01-09 23:15:06 +00:00
Richard Roberts 19a3e228d7 Large refactoring - made several Lie group functions global, which used to be member functions, to treat Lie groups more uniformly. Also created Lie.h, and a preprocessor flag in numericalDerivative to change the coordinate frame derivatives are reported in. gtsam and easylib build and pass unit tests, but this will probably break other projects, which will require a few small changes to work again. Email coming in a few minutes to describe the changes. 2010-01-08 00:40:17 +00:00
