mrpt::hwdrivers::CGenericSensor Class Referenceabstract

Detailed Description

A generic interface for a wide-variety of sensors designed to be used in the application RawLogGrabber.

Derived classes should be designed with the following execution flow in mind:

Notice that there are helper methods for managing the internal list of objects (see CGenericSensor::appendObservation).

Class Factory: This is also a factory of derived classes, through the static method CGenericSensor::createSensor

For more details on RawLogGrabber refer to the wiki page: http://www.mrpt.org/Application:RawLogGrabber

void mrpt::hwdrivers::CGenericSensor::appendObservation ( const mrpt::utils::CSerializablePtr obj)
inlineprotected

Like appendObservations() but for just one observation.

Definition at line 146 of file CGenericSensor.h.

void mrpt::hwdrivers::CGenericSensor::appendObservations ( const std::vector< mrpt::utils::CSerializablePtr > &  obj)
protected

This method must be called by derived classes to enqueue a new observation in the list to be returned by getObservations.

Passed objects must be created in dynamic memory and a smart pointer passed. Example of creation:

mrpt::obs::CObservationGPSPtr o = CObservationGPSPtr( new CObservationGPS() );
o-> .... // Set data

If several observations are passed at once in the vector, they'll be considered as a block regarding the grabbing decimation factor.

static CGenericSensor* mrpt::hwdrivers::CGenericSensor::createSensor ( const std::string &  className)
static

Creates a sensor by a name of the class.

Typically the user may want to create a smart pointer around the returned pointer, whis is made with:

Returns
A pointer to a new class, or NULL if class name is unknown.
static CGenericSensorPtr mrpt::hwdrivers::CGenericSensor::createSensorPtr ( const std::string &  className)
inlinestatic

Just like createSensor, but returning a smart pointer to the newly created sensor object.

virtual void mrpt::hwdrivers::CGenericSensor::doProcess ( )
pure virtual
void mrpt::hwdrivers::CGenericSensor::enableVerbose ( bool  enabled = true)

Enable or disable extra debug info dumped to std::cout during sensor operation.

Default: disabled unless the environment variable "MRPT_HWDRIVERS_VERBOSE" is set to "1" during object creation.

void mrpt::hwdrivers::CGenericSensor::getObservations ( TListObservations lstObjects)

Returns a list of enqueued objects, emptying it (thread-safe).

The objects must be freed by the invoker.

static void mrpt::hwdrivers::CGenericSensor::registerClass ( const TSensorClassId pNewClass)
static

Register a class into the internal list of "CGenericSensor" descendents.

Used internally in the macros DEFINE_GENERIC_SENSOR, etc...

Can be used as "CGenericSensor::registerClass( SENSOR_CLASS_ID(CMySensor) );" if building custom sensors outside mrpt libraries in user code.

void mrpt::hwdrivers::CGenericSensor::setExternalImageFormat ( const std::string &  ext)
inline

Set the extension ("jpg","gif","png",...) that determines the format of images saved externally The default is "jpg".

void mrpt::hwdrivers::CGenericSensor::setExternalImageJPEGQuality ( const unsigned int  quality)
inline

The quality of JPEG compression, when external images is enabled and the format is "jpg".

virtual void mrpt::hwdrivers::CGenericSensor::setPathForExternalImages ( const std::string &  directory)
inlinevirtual

Set the path where to save off-rawlog image files (will be ignored in those sensors where this is not applicable).

An empty string (the default value at construction) means to save images embedded in the rawlog, instead of on separate files.

Exceptions
std::exceptionIf the directory doesn't exists and cannot be created.
