Hi Pablo,

The new package pose_cov_ops in the mrpt_common stack does exactly what you're looking for.

It includes pose (direct and inverse) composition with a rigorous treatment of uncertainty, even when it's given as a 6x6 covariance matrix in yaw-pitch-roll, which is much harder to implement than e.g. as a 7x7 with unit quaternion representation.

The package is actually a wrapper of functionality in the lib mrpt-base, which has dozens of unit tests regarding uncertainty transformations so it should be quite reliable. Much more of mrpt-base functionality is expected to be wrapped in the future.

Check the package wiki for references to a technical report explaining all the internal equations.

Cheers.
