Detailed Description
template<typename ParticleT>
class ParticleFilter< ParticleT >::ResamplingPolicy
The resampling policy focuses the particle filter on those particles which are performing well, and dropping those which are poorly rated.
Resampling should replicate particles proportionally to how well their weights compare to other particles in the filter. The process is similar to a genetic algorithm. This process typically does not vary between applications, so you will probably want to use the supplied LowVarianceResamplingPolicy, and simply tweak parameters as needed.
The ResamplingPolicy interface includes a DistributionPolicy so particles can be randomly generated or modified in an abstract manner.

Public Types | |
| typedef ParticleT | particle_type |
| redefinition here allows reference to the particle type even if the template parameter may be abstracted away due to a typedef | |
| typedef std::vector< particle_type > | particle_collection |
| the collection type we'll be using to store the particles | |
| typedef particle_collection::size_type | index_t |
| index type for refering to particles within the collection | |
Public Member Functions | |
| ResamplingPolicy () | |
| constructor, creates a DistributionPolicy based on the particle_type's own DistributionPolicy typedef | |
| ResamplingPolicy (DistributionPolicy *distPolicy) | |
| constructor, pass your own custom distribution policy (responsibility for deallocation is assumed by the ResamplingPolicy) | |
| virtual | ~ResamplingPolicy () |
| destructor | |
| virtual void | resample (particle_collection &particles, index_t &bestIndex)=0 |
| the particle filter will call resample() when the particles have been evaluated and are ready to be selected | |
| virtual void | setDistributionPolicy (DistributionPolicy *distPolicy) |
| replaces dist with a new distribution policy. If you pass NULL, dist will be reset to the particle_type's default distribution policy, as specified by a 'DistributionPolicy' typedef within the particle class | |
| virtual DistributionPolicy & | getDistributionPolicy () const |
| returns the currently active distribution policy (dist) | |
Protected Attributes | |
| DistributionPolicy * | dist |
| a pointer to the current distribution policy, which cannot be NULL | |
Private Member Functions | |
| ResamplingPolicy (const ResamplingPolicy &rp) | |
| copy unsupported | |
| ResamplingPolicy & | operator= (const ResamplingPolicy &rp) |
| assignment unsupported | |
