bool getGuardSpacingFactor (double pathLength, double &numGuards, double &spacingFactor)

bool getGuardSpacingFactor (double pathLength, int &numGuards, double &spacingFactor)
Calculate the distance that should be used in inserting nodes into the db. More...

bool checkStartGoalConnection (ompl::geometric::PathGeometric &solutionPath)

base::PlannerStatus solve (const base::PlannerTerminationCondition &ptc) override
Function that can solve the motion planning problem. This function can be called multiple times on the same problem, without calling clear() in between. This allows the planner to continue work for more time on an unsolved problem, for example. Start and goal states from the currently specified ProblemDefinition are cached. This means that between calls to solve(), input states are only added, not removed. When using PRM as a multi-query planner, the input states should be however cleared, without clearing the roadmap itself. This can be done using the clearQuery() function.

void clearQuery () override
Clear the query previously loaded from the ProblemDefinition. Subsequent calls to solve() will reuse the previously computed roadmap, but will clear the set of input states constructed by the previous call to solve(). This enables multi-query functionality for PRM.

void clear () override
Clear all internal datastructures. Planner settings are not affected. Subsequent calls to solve() will ignore all previous work.

template<template< typename T > class NN>
void setNearestNeighbors ()
Set a different nearest neighbors datastructure.

bool getSimilarPaths (int nearestK, const base::State *start, const base::State *goal, CandidateSolution &candidateSolution, const base::PlannerTerminationCondition &ptc)

Get the number of vertices in the sparse roadmap.

unsigned int getNumEdges () const
Get the number of edges in the sparse roadmap.

unsigned int getNumConnectedComponents () const

Set the sparse graph from file. More...

bool reachedFailureLimit () const
Returns whether we have reached the iteration failures limit, maxFailures_.

## Detailed Description

Short description
SPARSdb is a variant of the SPARS algorithm which removes the dependency on having the dense graph, D. It works through similar mechanics, but uses a different approach to identifying interfaces and computing shortest paths through said interfaces.

This version has been modified for use with Thunder

## ◆ EdgeProperties

 using ompl::geometric::SPARSdb::EdgeProperties = boost::property >

Wrapper for the double assigned to an edge as its weight property.

Definition at line 286 of file SPARSdb.h.

## ◆ Graph

The underlying boost graph type (undirected weighted-edge adjacency list with above properties).

Definition at line 290 of file SPARSdb.h.

## ◆ VertexProperties

 using ompl::geometric::SPARSdb::VertexProperties = boost::property< vertex_state_t, base::State *, boost::property< boost::vertex_predecessor_t, VertexIndexType, boost::property >> >>

Any BGL graph representation could be used here. Because we
expect the roadmap to be sparse (m<n^2), an adjacency_list is more appropriate than an adjacency_matrix. Edges are undirected.

Properties of vertices*

Note: If boost::vecS is not used for vertex storage, then there must also be a boost:vertex_index_t property manually added.

Properties of edges*

• edge_weight_t - cost/distance between two vertices
• edge_collision_state_t - used for lazy collision checking, determines if an edge has been checked already for collision. 0 = not checked/unknown, 1 = in collision, 2 = free Wrapper for the vertex's multiple as its property.
