Sensor Entity

List of all members.


Detailed Description

Sensor with one or more rays.

This sensor cast rays into the world, tests for intersections, and reports the range to the nearest object. It is used by ranging sensor models (e.g., sonars and scanning laser range finders).

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

RaySensor ( Body body  ) 

Constructor

Parameters:
body The underlying collision test uses an ODE geom, so ray sensors must be attached to a body.

virtual ~RaySensor (  )  [virtual]

Destructor


Member Function Documentation

virtual void LoadChild ( XMLConfigNode node  )  [protected, virtual]

Load the ray using parameter from an XMLConfig node.

Parameters:
node The XMLConfig node

Reimplemented from Sensor.

double GetMinAngle (  )  const

Get the minimum angle

Returns:
The minimum angle

double GetMaxAngle (  )  const

Get the maximum angle

Returns:
the maximum angle

double GetMinRange (  )  const

Get the minimum range

Returns:
The minimum range

double GetMaxRange (  )  const

Get the maximum range

Returns:
The maximum range

int GetRayCount (  )  const

Get the ray count

Returns:
The number of rays

int GetRangeCount (  )  const

Get the range count

Returns:
The number of ranges

void SetRay ( int  index,
const Vector3 a,
const Vector3 b 
)

Set ray parameters

Parameters:
index Rayindex (from 0 to rayCount - 1).
a,b Ray endpoints (initial and final points). These are in body-relative coordiantes.

void GetRay ( int  index,
Vector3 pos,
Vector3 dir 
)

Get ray parameters.

Parameters:
index Ray index (from 0 to rayCount -1).
pos,dir Ray position and direction.

double GetRange ( int  index  ) 

Get detected range for a ray.

Returns:
Returns DBL_MAX for no detection.

double GetRetro ( int  index  ) 

Get detected retro (intensity) value for a ray.

int GetFiducial ( int  index  ) 

Get detected fiducial value for a ray.
