Detailed Description

Camera class holds a set of camera parameters together with the window pos/size.

Definition at line 151 of file common.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Camera() [1/3]

pcl::visualization::Camera::Camera

(

)

Construct a camera with meaningful default values.

The camera is positioned at origin, looks along z-axis and has up-vector along y-axis. Window position and size are initialized with (0, 0) and (1, 1) respectively.

Camera() [2/3]

pcl::visualization::Camera::Camera

(

vtkCamera &

camera

)

Construct a camera by copying parameters from a VTK camera.

Window position and size are initialized with (0, 0) and (1, 1) respectively.

Camera() [3/3]

pcl::visualization::Camera::Camera	(	vtkCamera &	camera,
		vtkRenderWindow &	window
	)

Construct a camera by copying parameters from a VTK camera and a VTK render window.

Member Function Documentation

computeProjectionMatrix()

void pcl::visualization::Camera::computeProjectionMatrix

(

Eigen::Matrix4d &

proj

)

const

Computes Projection Matrix for Camera.

Parameters

[out]

proj

the resultant matrix

Referenced by cvtWindowCoordinates().

computeViewMatrix()

void pcl::visualization::Camera::computeViewMatrix

(

Eigen::Matrix4d &

view_mat

)

const

Computes View matrix for Camera (Based on gluLookAt)

Parameters

[out]

view_mat

the resultant matrix

Referenced by cvtWindowCoordinates().

cvtWindowCoordinates() [1/2]

template<typename PointT >

void Camera::cvtWindowCoordinates	(	const PointT &	pt,
		Eigen::Vector4d &	window_cord
	)		const

converts point to window coordiantes

Converts point to window coordinates.

Parameters

[in]	pt	xyz point to be converted
[out]	window_cord	vector containing the pts' window X,Y, Z and 1

This function computes the projection and view matrix every time. It is very inefficient to use this for every point in the point cloud!

Parameters

[in]	pt	xyz point to be converted
[out]	window_cord	vector containing the pts' window X,Y, Z and 1

Note

This function computes the projection and view matrix every time. It is very inefficient to use this for every point in the point cloud!

cvtWindowCoordinates() [2/2]

template<typename PointT >

void Camera::cvtWindowCoordinates	(	const PointT &	pt,
		Eigen::Vector4d &	window_cord,
		const Eigen::Matrix4d &	composite_mat
	)		const

converts point to window coordiantes

Parameters

[in]	pt	xyz point to be converted
[out]	window_cord	vector containing the pts' window X,Y, Z and 1
[in]	composite_mat	composite transformation matrix (proj*view)

Use this function to compute window coordinates with a precomputed transformation function. The typical composite matrix will be the projection matrix * the view matrix. However, additional matrices like a camera disortion matrix can also be added.

Parameters

[in]	pt	xyz point to be converted
[out]	window_cord	vector containing the pts' window X,Y, Z and 1
[in]	composite_mat	composite transformation matrix (proj*view)

Note

Use this function to compute window coordinates with a pre-computed transformation function. The typical composite matrix will be the projection matrix * the view matrix. However, additional matrices like a camera distortion matrix can also be added.

Member Data Documentation

clip

double pcl::visualization::Camera::clip[2]

Clipping planes depths.

clip[0] is near clipping plane, and clip [1] is the far clipping plane

Definition at line 181 of file common.h.

focal

double pcl::visualization::Camera::focal[3]

Focal point or lookAt.

Note

The view direction can be obtained by (focal-pos).normalized ()

Definition at line 169 of file common.h.

fovy

double pcl::visualization::Camera::fovy

Field of view angle in y direction (radians).

Definition at line 184 of file common.h.

pos

double pcl::visualization::Camera::pos[3]

Position of the camera.

Definition at line 172 of file common.h.

view

double pcl::visualization::Camera::view[3]

Up vector of the camera.

Note

Not to be confused with the view direction, bad naming here.

Definition at line 176 of file common.h.
