pytransform3d.transform_manager.TemporalTransformManager

class pytransform3d.transform_manager.TemporalTransformManager(strict_check=True, check=True)

Bases: TransformGraphBase

Manage time-varying transformations.

Parameters:

strict_checkbool, optional (default: True)

Raise a ValueError if the transformation matrix is not numerically close enough to a real transformation matrix. Otherwise we print a warning.

checkbool, optional (default: True)

Check if transformation matrices are valid and requested nodes exist, which might significantly slow down some operations.

__init__(strict_check=True, check=True)

Methods

__init__([strict_check, check])
add_transform(from_frame, to_frame, A2B)	Register a transformation.
check_consistency()	Check consistency of the known transformations.
connected_components()	Get number of connected components.
get_transform(from_frame, to_frame)	Request a transformation.
get_transform_at_time(from_frame, to_frame, time)	Request a transformation at a given time.
has_frame(frame)	Check if frame has been registered.
remove_transform(from_frame, to_frame)	Remove a transformation.

Attributes

current_time	Current time at which we evaluate transformations.
transforms	Rigid transformations between nodes.

property current_time

Current time at which we evaluate transformations.

property transforms

Rigid transformations between nodes.

get_transform_at_time(from_frame, to_frame, time)

Request a transformation at a given time.

Parameters:

from_frameHashable

Name of the frame for which the transformation is requested in the to_frame coordinate system

to_frameHashable

Name of the frame in which the transformation is defined

timefloat

Time at which we request the transformation.

Returns:

A2Barray, shape (4, 4)

Transformation from ‘from_frame’ to ‘to_frame’

Raises:

KeyError

If one of the frames is unknown or there is no connection between them

add_transform(from_frame, to_frame, A2B)

Register a transformation.

Parameters:

from_frameHashable

Name of the frame for which the transformation is added in the to_frame coordinate system

to_frameHashable

Name of the frame in which the transformation is defined

A2BAny

Transformation from ‘from_frame’ to ‘to_frame’

Returns:

selfTransformManager

This object for chaining

check_consistency()

Check consistency of the known transformations.

The complexity of this is between and , where is the number of nodes. In graphs where each pair of nodes is directly connected the complexity is . In graphs that are actually paths, the complexity is .

Returns:

consistentbool

Is the graph consistent, i.e. is A2B always the same as the inverse of B2A?

connected_components()

Get number of connected components.

If the number is larger than 1 there will be frames without connections.

Returns:

n_connected_componentsint

Number of connected components.

get_transform(from_frame, to_frame)

Request a transformation.

Parameters:

from_frameHashable

Name of the frame for which the transformation is requested in the to_frame coordinate system

to_frameHashable

Name of the frame in which the transformation is defined

Returns:

A2BAny

Transformation from ‘from_frame’ to ‘to_frame’

Raises:

KeyError

If one of the frames is unknown or there is no connection between them

has_frame(frame)

Check if frame has been registered.

Parameters:

frameHashable

Frame name

Returns:

has_framebool

Frame is registered

remove_transform(from_frame, to_frame)

Remove a transformation.

Nothing happens if there is no such transformation.

Parameters:

from_frameHashable

Name of the frame for which the transformation is added in the to_frame coordinate system

to_frameHashable

Name of the frame in which the transformation is defined

Returns:

selfTransformManager

This object for chaining
