GTSAM is a library of C++ classes that implement smoothing and mapping (SAM) in robotics and vision, using factor graphs and Bayes networks as the underlying computing paradigm rather than sparse matrices.
Role in this project:
Back-end Developer
Back-end DeveloperContributions:18 commits in 2 years 2 months
Contributions summary:Jing's commits primarily involve modifying example code within the GTSAM library to refactor and update functions using the `Vec()` function, replacing the deprecated `Vector_()` function. This suggests a focus on code modernization and library maintenance. The changes are applied across numerous example files, indicating a broad impact on the codebase and its usability for developers and users of GTSAM. These updates appear to improve the consistency of the codebase.
