Member Data Documentation

◆ cacheLinearizedFactors

bool gtsam::ISAM2Params::cacheLinearizedFactors

Whether to cache linear factors (default: true). This can improve performance if linearization is expensive, but can hurt performance if linearization is very cleap due to computation to look up additional keys.

◆ enableDetailedResults

bool gtsam::ISAM2Params::enableDetailedResults

Whether to compute and return ISAM2Result::detailedResults, this can increase running time (default: false)

◆ enablePartialRelinearizationCheck

bool gtsam::ISAM2Params::enablePartialRelinearizationCheck

Check variables for relinearization in tree-order, stopping the check once a variable does not need to be relinearized (default: false). This can improve speed by only checking a small part of the top of the tree. However, variables below the check cut-off can accumulate significant deltas without triggering relinearization. This is particularly useful in exploration scenarios where real-time performance is desired over correctness. Use with caution.

◆ enableRelinearization

bool gtsam::ISAM2Params::enableRelinearization

Controls whether ISAM2 will ever relinearize any variables (default: true)

◆ evaluateNonlinearError

bool gtsam::ISAM2Params::evaluateNonlinearError

Whether to evaluate the nonlinear error before and after the update, to return in ISAM2Result from update()

◆ factorization

Factorization gtsam::ISAM2Params::factorization

Specifies whether to use QR or CHOESKY numerical factorization (default: CHOLESKY). Cholesky is faster but potentially numerically unstable for poorly-conditioned problems, which can occur when uncertainty is very low in some variables (or dimensions of variables) and very high in others. QR is slower but more numerically stable in poorly-conditioned problems. We suggest using the default of Cholesky unless gtsam sometimes throws IndefiniteLinearSystemException when your problem's Hessian is actually positive definite. For positive definite problems, numerical error accumulation can cause the problem to become numerically negative or indefinite as solving proceeds, especially when using Cholesky.

◆ findUnusedFactorSlots

bool gtsam::ISAM2Params::findUnusedFactorSlots

When you will be removing many factors, e.g. when using ISAM2 as a fixed-lag smoother, enable this option to add factors in the first available factor slots, to avoid accumulating nullptr factor slots, at the cost of having to search for slots every time a factor is added.

◆ keyFormatter

KeyFormatter gtsam::ISAM2Params::keyFormatter

A KeyFormatter for when keys are printed during debugging (default: DefaultKeyFormatter)

◆ optimizationParams

OptimizationParams gtsam::ISAM2Params::optimizationParams

Optimization parameters, this both selects the nonlinear optimization method and specifies its parameters, either ISAM2GaussNewtonParams or ISAM2DoglegParams. In the former, Gauss-Newton optimization will be used with the specified parameters, and in the latter Powell's dog-leg algorithm will be used with the specified parameters.

◆ relinearizeSkip

int gtsam::ISAM2Params::relinearizeSkip

Only relinearize any variables every relinearizeSkip calls to ISAM2::update (default: 10)

◆ relinearizeThreshold

RelinearizationThreshold gtsam::ISAM2Params::relinearizeThreshold

Only relinearize variables whose linear delta magnitude is greater than this threshold (default: 0.1). If this is a FastMap<char,Vector> instead of a double, then the threshold is specified for each dimension of each variable type. This parameter then maps from a character indicating the variable type to a Vector of thresholds for each dimension of that variable. For example, if Pose keys are of type TypedSymbol<'x',Pose3>, and landmark keys are of type TypedSymbol<'l',Point3>, then appropriate entries would be added with:

FastMap<char,Vector> thresholds;
thresholds['x'] = (Vector(6) << 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5).finished();
// 0.1 rad rotation threshold, 0.5 m translation threshold thresholds['l'] =
Vector3(1.0, 1.0, 1.0); // 1.0 m landmark position threshold
params.relinearizeThreshold = thresholds;
