Detailed Description

template<class valueType, class timeType>
class icl::cv::Extrapolator< valueType, timeType >

class for linear and quadatic extrapolation

The Extrapolator class is designed as template and abstracts from the type of the values as well as from the type that is used to indicate time stamps for values.

The template is explicitly intantiated for value type icl32f and the time types long int, int and icl32f

template<class valueType , class timeType >

static valueType icl::cv::Extrapolator< valueType, timeType >::predict	(	valueType	x2,
		valueType	x1
	)		[static]

extrapolates the next value (time t) using linear interpolation

The time series is x_2(t-2),x_1(t-1),result(t) \; with \; dt=1

Parameters:

x2	first value at time t-2
x1	second value at time t-1

Returns:

extrapolated value at time t

static valueType icl::cv::Extrapolator< valueType, timeType >::predict	(	valueType	x3,
		valueType	x2,
		valueType	x1
	)		[static]

extrapolates the next value using quadratic interpolation

The time series is x3@t-3 x2@t-2 x1@t-1 result@t with dt=1

Parameters:

x3	second value at time t-3
x2	first value at time t-2
x1	second value at time t-1

Returns:

extrapolated value at time t

		timeType	t2,
		valueType	x1,
		timeType	t1,
		timeType	t
	)		[static]

linear interpolation, but with timestamped value

The time series is ... x2(t2) x1(t1) result(t)

Parameters:

x2	third value at time t2
t2	time stamp for value x2
x1	third value at time t1
t1	time stamp for value x1
t	time stamp for the returned value

Returns:

extrapolated value at time t

template<class valueType , class timeType >

		timeType	t3,
		valueType	x2,
		timeType	t2,
		valueType	x1,
		timeType	t1,
		timeType	t
	)		[static]

quadratic interpolation, but with timestamped value

The time series is ... x3(t3) x2(t2) x1(t1) result(t)

Parameters:

x3	third value at time t3
t3	time stamp for value x3
x2	third value at time t2
t2	time stamp for value x2
x1	third value at time t1
t1	time stamp for value x1
t	time stamp for the returned value

Returns:

extrapolated value at time t

template<class valueType , class timeType >

static valueType icl::cv::Extrapolator< valueType, timeType >::predict	(	int	n,
		valueType *	xs,
		timeType *	ts = 0,
		timeType	t = timeType(0)
	)		[static]

generic interpolation function abstracting from number of mesh points availability of timestamps

In valueTypetime environments, not every time 3 mesh points for the extrapolation are available. To avoid the necessity of switching between the cases of a different mesh point counts, this function provides a generic interface.

Please considere, that n must be one of {1,2,3} and t must not be 0 if ts is given

If n is 1, the prediction returns the current value *xs.

If n is 2, the prediction returns the first order extrapolated next value:

          dt1 = t1 - t2              for ts=NULL: return x1 + x1 - p2
          dt0 = t - t1
          v1 = (x1-x2)/dt1
          return x1 + dt0*v1
          

If n is 3, the prediction returns the second order extraploated next value:

          dt2 = t2 - t3              for ts=NULL: v1 = p1-p2
          dt1 = t1 - t2                           a = v1-( p2-p3 )
          dt0 = t - t1                            return p1 + v1 +  a/2.0
          v2 = (x2-x3)/dt2  
          v1 = (x1-x2)/dt1
          a = (v1-v2)/((dt1+dt2)/2)
          return x1 + dt0*v1 + (dt0*dt0)/2.0 * a
