Pose of a widget

Prev Tutorial: Launching Viz
Next Tutorial: Transformations

Goal

In this tutorial you will learn how to

  • Add widgets to the visualization window
  • Use Affine3 to set pose of a widget
  • Rotating and translating a widget along an axis

Code

You can download the code from here.

Explanation

Here is the general structure of the program:

  • Create a visualization window.
    viz::Viz3d myWindow("Coordinate Frame");
  • Show coordinate axes in the window using CoordinateSystemWidget.
    myWindow.showWidget("Coordinate Widget", viz::WCoordinateSystem());
  • Display a line representing the axis (1,1,1).
    viz::WLine axis(Point3f(-1.0f,-1.0f,-1.0f), Point3f(1.0f,1.0f,1.0f));
    axis.setRenderingProperty(viz::LINE_WIDTH, 4.0);
    myWindow.showWidget("Line Widget", axis);
  • Construct a cube.
    viz::WCube cube_widget(Point3f(0.5,0.5,0.0), Point3f(0.0,0.0,-0.5), true, viz::Color::blue());
    cube_widget.setRenderingProperty(viz::LINE_WIDTH, 4.0);
    myWindow.showWidget("Cube Widget", cube_widget);
  • Create rotation matrix from rodrigues vector
    rot_vec.at<float>(0,0) += CV_PI * 0.01f;
    rot_vec.at<float>(0,1) += CV_PI * 0.01f;
    rot_vec.at<float>(0,2) += CV_PI * 0.01f;
    ...
    Mat rot_mat;
    Rodrigues(rot_vec, rot_mat);
  • Use Affine3f to set pose of the cube.
    Affine3f pose(rot_mat, Vec3f(translation, translation, translation));
    myWindow.setWidgetPose("Cube Widget", pose);
  • Animate the rotation using wasStopped and spinOnce
    while(!myWindow.wasStopped())
    {
    ...
    myWindow.spinOnce(1, true);
    }
