Detailed Description

Declares a class that represents a Probability Density function (PDF) of a 3D pose $p(\mathbf{x}) = [x ~ y ~ z ~ yaw ~ pitch ~ roll]^t$ as a Gaussian described by its mean and its inverse covariance matrix.

This class implements that PDF using a mono-modal Gaussian distribution in "information" form (inverse covariance matrix).

Uncertainty of pose composition operations ( $y = x \oplus u$ ) is implemented in the method "CPose3DPDFGaussianInf::operator+=".

For further details on implemented methods and the theory behind them, see this report.
