|
// A class to represent non-linear least squares problems. Such
|
|
// problems have a cost function that is a sum of error terms (known
|
|
// as "residuals"), where each residual is a function of some subset
|
|
// of the parameters. The cost function takes the form
|
|
//
|
|
// N 1
|
|
// SUM --- loss( || r_i1, r_i2,..., r_ik ||^2 ),
|
|
// i=1 2
|
|
//
|
|
// where
|
|
//
|
|
// r_ij is residual number i, component j; the residual is a
|
|
// function of some subset of the parameters x1...xk. For
|
|
// example, in a structure from motion problem a residual
|
|
// might be the difference between a measured point in an
|
|
// image and the reprojected position for the matching
|
|
// camera, point pair. The residual would have two
|
|
// components, error in x and error in y.
|
|
//
|
|
// loss(y) is the loss function; for example, squared error or
|
|
// Huber L1 loss. If loss(y) = y, then the cost function is
|
|
// non-robustified least squares.
|
|
//
|
|
// This class is specifically designed to address the important subset
|
|
// of "sparse" least squares problems, where each component of the
|
|
// residual depends only on a small number number of parameters, even
|
|
// though the total number of residuals and parameters may be very
|
|
// large. This property affords tremendous gains in scale, allowing
|
|
// efficient solving of large problems that are otherwise
|
|
// inaccessible.
|
|
//
|
|
// The canonical example of a sparse least squares problem is
|
|
// "structure-from-motion" (SFM), where the parameters are points and
|
|
// cameras, and residuals are reprojection errors. Typically a single
|
|
// residual will depend only on 9 parameters (3 for the point, 6 for
|
|
// the camera).
|
|
//
|
|
// To create a least squares problem, use the AddResidualBlock() and
|
|
// AddParameterBlock() methods, documented below. Here is an example least
|
|
// squares problem containing 3 parameter blocks of sizes 3, 4 and 5
|
|
// respectively and two residual terms of size 2 and 6:
|
|
//
|
|
// double x1[] = { 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 };
|
|
// double x2[] = { 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 5.0 };
|
|
// double x3[] = { 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 6.0, 7.0 };
|
|
//
|
|
// Problem problem;
|
|
//
|
|
// problem.AddResidualBlock(new MyUnaryCostFunction(...), x1);
|
|
// problem.AddResidualBlock(new MyBinaryCostFunction(...), x2, x3);
|
|
//
