cnspy-trajectory 0.2.5

Trajectory in SE(3) space with utilities.

The cnspy_trajectory Package

A Trajectory object consists of a matrix of positions, orientations (Quaternions) and associated timestamps. The object can be created by passing the these three matrices or by passing a Pandas DataFrame object containing them. The DataFrame will be converted using the class TUMCSV2DataFrame.

A trajectory object offers some conversions, load/store methods, plot, spatial transformations, etc.

A TrajectoryEstimated is a specialization of a Trajectory, holding a covariances of the position and orientation to the timestamps, which can be loaded form a DataFrame too.

The TrajectoryPlotter offers methods to visualize a (or multiple) Trajectory objects.
