Hy everybody,

I am currently writing a function for a ros node. During this calculation I am trying to use the pseudo inverse of the QR Module of Eigen. But unfortunately it is not able to find the include and by that not the function. I think I need to alter my Cmake file. I did already use normal <eigen eigen=""> functions so this is not the problem.

I found a stack overflow post in which it seems very easy to use the function. Just for clarity I add the link here: stack overflow post

Thank you very much for your help. Since I am not posting very often just tell me when I need to change anything. I will add all the information as soon as possible.

The code I am trying to make run:

#include <cv_bridge/cv_bridge.h>
#include "ros/ros.h"
#include <opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp>
#include <algorithm>  
#include <stdio.h>
#include <Eigen/Eigen>
#include <Eigen/QR> //<- can't find this import

void calc_delta_p(Eigen::Matrix <double,1,6> &delta_p,Eigen::Matrix <double,6,6> &hessian){

hessian.completeOrthogonalDecomposition().pseudoInverse(); //<-cant find this function
delta_p=hessian*delta_p;

}

The compiler throws this error:

/home/catkin_ws/src/image_publisher/src/function_file.cpp:120:13: error: ‘class Eigen::Matrix<double, 6, 6, 0, 6, 6>’ has no member named ‘completeOrthogonalDecomposition’
     hessian.completeOrthogonalDecomposition().pseudoInverse();

Here is my cmake file:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.3)
project(image_publisher)

I can see where your problem is here.

But one quick point first the #include <Eigen/QR> is working fine, the compiler wouldn't even try to build your code if it couldn't find this include. So that bit's okay.

The problem is that completeOrthogonalDecomposition is a class in its own right not an extra method of the matrix type in Eigen as you're trying to call it.

You need to create an instance of the completeOrthogonalDecomposition class templated with the type of matrix you're using then use that class to do the decomposition. Your code should look something like this :

Eigen::CompleteOrthogonalDecomposition<Eigen::MatrixXd> cqr(A);
pinv = cqr.pseudoInverse();

Hope this helps.

Thank you very much for your comment. You are right it found the include. I just checked my Eigen library version number and found out that I was using the wrong version number. It seems that Eigen::CompleteOrthogonalDecomposition< _MatrixType > was added in version 3.

Because in Eigen 2 there is no Pseudo inverse function I helped myself by writing my own code.following advice from post number 18 from this blog entry. I am using the JacobiSVD objetct's solve method called with an identity matrix. It returns the pinv my matlab also gives back.

    #include <Eigen/Eigen>
    #include <Eigen/SVD>
    #include <stdio.h>

  void pinv( Eigen::MatrixXd &input_matrix,Eigen::MatrixXd &output_matrix) {
// fills the output matrix with a identity matrix for later use in the solvemethod
    output_matrix=Eigen::MatrixXd::Identity(input_matrix.rows(),input_matrix.cols());
    Eigen::JacobiSVD<Eigen::MatrixXd> svd(input_matrix, Eigen::ComputeThinU | Eigen::ComputeThinV);
    output_matrix=svd.solve(output_matrix); }

A function call looks like this:

        int main(int argc, char **argv)
        {
        Eigen::MatrixXd example_matrix(6,6);
        Eigen::MatrixXd output_matrix(6,6);
        example_matrix <<        1,2,3,4,5,6,
                                 1,2,3,4,5,6,
                                 1,2,3,4,5,6,
                                 1,2,3,4,5,6,
                                 1,2,3,4,5,6,
                                 1,2,3,4,5,6;
        pinv(example_matrix,output_matrix);  //calculates the pseudo inverse
        std::cout << "pinv example matrix: " << output_matrix << std::cout; //output of the matrix

        return 0;
        }

Why not just find_package(Eigen 3 REQUIRED) (or any of the equivalent forms)?

Eigen 3 must be available on all platforms that ROS Kinetic is distributed.

It's not a pseudo inverse if it's a square matrix. The whole point of the pseudo inverse operation is that it can work with non-square matrices! See.

True that :). But this also works for 6 times 6 matrizes with rank deficiencies. My input Matrix is just always square. I do not check if it has full rank.

The find_package would also be a good suggestion I will check if that works. I was myself unaware that I used Eigen2. I hope that I can force Eigen 3 with that command

shoot. code does really not work on rank deficient matrixes. Thank you for pointing that out

mojakobi gravatar image mojakobi  ( 2018-05-14 08:17:35 -0500 )edit

corrected that error should now return the result it should
