Is there a way to subscribe to the uncertainty of Gmapping?

I'm trying to add a bit more localization to the Turtlebot during gmapping via RFID tags, so I have them publishing on the vo for robot_pose_ekf. I have noticed that gmapping runs through the certainty of it's pose in order to determine where it is / read the paper. Is there any way to subscribe to this like it's a topic? I can use this value to train my robot when to trust the RFID tags and when to not, since it's concurrently using them for localization and assigning them positions.

Edit: I'm basically doing SLAM with RFID tags.

Yeah, I know about the Entropy, but there are a lot more calculations that aren't published. I'll look into it more. Thanks. The Entropy is relatively static in terms of other calculations going on, from what I've observed, so it isn't much good to me on the move-to-move.

How can you transform this pose uncertainty from a float64 to a matrix which says the covariance???

@roberto3 were you able to get this into a covariance matrix? @Stefan Kohlbrecher when forming the gaussian estimate (i.e. mean and covariance matrix) of the pose array, do you weight the mean by the particle weight?
