Detailed Description

Helper class to identify an LED based on its pattern of brightness over time. The base class defines the interface. The derived classes encode the pattern-detection algorithm for specific devices.

NOTE: This class may modify the passed-in list, truncating it so that old data points are removed once there are enough measurements to make an estimate.

Todo:: Consider adding a distance estimator as a parameter throughout, which can be left alone for unknown or estimated based on a Kalman filter; it would be used to scale the expected brightness.

	)		const

pure virtual

Determine the identity of the LED whose brightness pattern is passed in. Truncates the passed-in list to the length needed to look for a pattern, so it does not grow too long and waste space and time, and perhaps produce spurious Ids.

Parameters

[out] lastBright set to True if we determine that the LED is currently "bright"

Returns: -1 for unknown (not enough information) and less than -1 for definitely not an LED (light sources will be constant, mis-tracked LEDs may produce spurious changes in the pattern for example).

Implemented in osvr::vbtracker::OsvrHdkLedIdentifier.
