Description
Examples
Optimize Simple Factor Graph
Create a factor graph.
fg = factorGraph;
Define two pose states of the robot as the ground truth.
rstate = [0 0 0; 1 1 pi/2];
Define the relative pose measurement between two nodes from the odometry as the pose difference between the states with some noise. The relative measurement must be in the reference frame of the second node so you must rotate the difference in position to be in the reference frame of the second node.
posediff = diff(rstate);
rotdiffso2 = so2(posediff(3),"theta");
transformedPos = transform(inv(rotdiffso2),posediff(1:2));
odomNoise = 0.1*rand;
measure = [transformedPos posediff(3)] + odomNoise;
Create a factor connecting two SE(2) pose with the relative measurment between the poses. Then add the factor to the factor graph to create two nodes.
ids = generateNodeID(fg,1,"factorTwoPoseSE2");
f = factorTwoPoseSE2(ids,Measurement=measure);
addFactor(fg,f);
Get the state of both pose nodes.
stateDefault = nodeState(fg,ids)
stateDefault = 2×3
0 0 0
0 0 0
Because these nodes are new, they have default state values. Ideally before optimizing, you should assign an approximate guess of the absolute pose. This increases the possibility of the optimize
function finding the global minimum. Otherwise optimize
may become trapped in the local minimum, producing a suboptimal solution.
Keep the first node state at the origin and set the second node state to an approximate xy-position at [0.9 0.95]
and a theta rotation of pi/3
radians. In practical applications you could use sensor measurements from your odometry to determine the approximate state of each pose node.
nodeState(fg,ids(2),[0.9 0.95 pi/3])
ans = 1×3
0.9000 0.9500 1.0472
Before optimizing, save the node state so you can reoptimize as needed.
statePriorOpt1 = nodeState(fg,ids);
Optimize the nodes and check the node states.
optimize(fg); stateOpt1 = nodeState(fg,ids)
stateOpt1 = 2×3
-0.1161 0.9026 0.0571
1.0161 0.0474 1.7094
Note that after optimization the first node did not stay at the origin because although the graph does have the initial guess for the state, the graph does not have any constraint on the absolute position. The graph has only the relative pose measurement, which acts as a constraint for the relative pose between the two nodes. So the graph attempts to reduce the cost related to the relative pose, but not the absolute pose. To provide more information to the graph, you can fix the state of nodes or add an absolute prior measurement factor.
Reset the states and then fix the first node. Then verify that the first node is fixed.
nodeState(fg,ids,statePriorOpt1); fixNode(fg,ids(1)) isNodeFixed(fg,ids(1))
ans = logical
1
Reoptimize the factor graph and get the node states.
optimize(fg)
ans = struct with fields:
InitialCost: 1.9452
FinalCost: 1.9452e-16

NumUnsuccessfulSteps: 0

stateOpt2 = nodeState(fg,ids)
stateOpt2 = 2×3
0 0 0

Note that after optimizing this time, the first node state remained at the origin.
Input Arguments
fg
— Factor graph
factorGraph
object
Factor graph, specified as a factorGraph
object.
nodeIDs
— IDs of the nodes to fix
nonnegative integer | N-element row vector of nonnegative integers
IDs of the nodes to fix, specified as a nonnegative integer or N-element row vector of nonnegative integers.
Output Arguments
isFixed
— Fix status of nodes
true
or 1
| false
or 0
| N-element vector of logical values
Fix status of the node, returned as a logical 1
(true
) or 0
(false
). The
function returns true
when the node is fixed, and returns
false
when the node is free.
If nodeID
is an N-element vector, then
isFixed
is returned as an N-element vector of
logical values corresponding to each of the specified nodes.
Extended Capabilities
C/C++ Code Generation
Generate C and C++ code using MATLAB® Coder™.
When generating portable C code with a C++ compiler, you must specify hierarchical
packing with non-minimal headers. For more information on packaging options, see the
packNGo
(MATLAB Coder) function.
Version History
Introduced in R2022aR2024b: Check multiple nodes at once
isNodeFixed
now supports specifying more than one node ID at once
to check multiple node IDs.
