Create an instance for a specified space information. | |
bool | reduceVertices (PathGeometric &path, unsigned int maxSteps=0, unsigned int maxEmptySteps=0, double rangeRatio=0.33) |
Given a path, attempt to remove vertices from it while keeping the path valid. This is an iterative process that attempts to do "short-cutting" on the path. Connection is attempted between non-consecutive way-points on the path. If the connection is successful, the path is shortened by removing the in-between way-points. This function returns true if changes were made to the path. | |
bool | shortcutPath (PathGeometric &path, unsigned int maxSteps=0, unsigned int maxEmptySteps=0, double rangeRatio=0.33, double snapToVertex=0.005) |
Given a path, attempt to shorten it while maintaining its validity. This is an iterative process that attempts to do "short-cutting" on the path. Connection is attempted between random points along the path segments. Unlike the reduceVertices() function, this function does not sample only vertices produced by the planner, but intermediate points on the path. If the connection is successful, the path is shortened by removing the in-between states (and new vertices are created when needed). This function returns true if changes were made to the path. | |
bool | collapseCloseVertices (PathGeometric &path, unsigned int maxSteps=0, unsigned int maxEmptySteps=0) |
Given a path, attempt to remove vertices from it while keeping the path valid. This is an iterative process that attempts to do "short-cutting" on the path. Connection is attempted between non-consecutive states that are close along the path. If the connection is successful, the path is shortened by removing the in-between states. This function returns true if changes were made to the path. | |
void | smoothBSpline (PathGeometric &path, unsigned int maxSteps=5, double minChange=std::numeric_limits< double >::epsilon()) |
Given a path, attempt to smooth it (the validity of the path is maintained). | |
void | simplifyMax (PathGeometric &path) |
Given a path, attempt to remove vertices from it while keeping the path valid. Then, try to smooth the path. This function applies the same set of default operations to the path, except in non-metric spaces, with the intention of simplifying it. In non-metric spaces, some operations are skipped because they do not work correctly when the triangle inequality may not hold. | |
void | simplify (PathGeometric &path, double maxTime) |
Run simplification algorithms on the path for at most maxTime seconds. | |
void | simplify (PathGeometric &path, const base::PlannerTerminationCondition &ptc) |
Run simplification algorithms on the path as long as the termination condition does not become true. | |
void | freeStates (bool flag) |
Set this flag to false to avoid freeing the memory allocated for states that are removed from a path during simplification. Setting this to true makes this free memory. Memory is freed by default (flag is true by default) | |
bool | freeStates () const |
Return true if the memory of states is freed when they are removed from a path during simplification. | |
Protected Attributes | |
base::SpaceInformationPtr | si_ |
The space information this path simplifier uses. | |
bool | freeStates_ |
Flag indicating whether the states removed from a motion should be freed. | |
RNG | rng_ |
Instance of random number generator. |
Detailed Description
This class contains routines that attempt to simplify geometric paths.
Some of these are in fact routines that shorten the path, and do not necessarily make it smoother.

bool ompl::geometric::PathSimplifier::collapseCloseVertices | ( | PathGeometric & | path, |
unsigned int | maxSteps = 0 , |
||
unsigned int | maxEmptySteps = 0 |
||
) |
Given a path, attempt to remove vertices from it while keeping the path valid. This is an iterative process that attempts to do "short-cutting" on the path. Connection is attempted between non-consecutive states that are close along the path. If the connection is successful, the path is shortened by removing the in-between states. This function returns true if changes were made to the path.
- Parameters:
-
path the path to reduce vertices from maxSteps the maximum number of attempts to "short-cut" the path. If this value is set to 0 (the default), the number of attempts made is equal to the number of states in path. If this value is set to 0 (the default), the number of attempts made is equal to the number of states in path. maxEmptySteps not all iterations of this function produce a simplification. If an iteration does not produce a simplification, it is called an empty step. maxEmptySteps denotes the maximum number of consecutive empty steps before the simplification process terminates.

Given a path, attempt to shorten it while maintaining its validity. This is an iterative process that attempts to do "short-cutting" on the path. Connection is attempted between random points along the path segments. Unlike the reduceVertices() function, this function does not sample only vertices produced by the planner, but intermediate points on the path. If the connection is successful, the path is shortened by removing the in-between states (and new vertices are created when needed). This function returns true if changes were made to the path.
- Parameters:
-
path the path to reduce vertices from maxSteps the maximum number of attempts to "short-cut" the path. If this value is set to 0 (the default), the number of attempts made is equal to the number of states in path. maxEmptySteps not all iterations of this function produce a simplification. If an iteration does not produce a simplification, it is called an empty step. maxEmptySteps denotes the maximum number of consecutive empty steps before the simplification process terminates. If this value is set to 0 (the default), the number of attempts made is equal to the number of states in path. rangeRatio the maximum distance between states a connection is attempted, as a fraction relative to the total number of states (between 0 and 1). snapToVertex While sampling random points on the path, sometimes the points may be close to vertices on the original path (way-points). This function will then "snap to the near vertex", if the distance is less than snapToVertex fraction of the total path length. This should usually be a small value (e.g., one percent of the total path length: 0.01; the default is half a percent)
- Note:
- This function assumes the triangle inequality holds and should not be run on non-metric spaces.

void ompl::geometric::PathSimplifier::smoothBSpline | ( | PathGeometric & | path, |
unsigned int | maxSteps = 5 , |
||
double | minChange = std::numeric_limits<double>::epsilon() |
||
) |
Given a path, attempt to smooth it (the validity of the path is maintained).
This function applies maxSteps steps of smoothing with B-Splines. Fewer steps are applied if no progress is detected: states are either not updated or their update is smaller than minChange. At each step the path is subdivided and states along it are updated such that the smoothness is improved.
- Note:
- This function may significantly increase the number of states along the solution path.
- This function assumes the triangle inequality holds and should not be run on non-metric spaces.
