how to change a 1*1 matrix in Eigen to float? - matrix

I'm using eigen matrix library.
How can I convert a matrix of 1* 1 to a number(float or others)?
It's OK to do this
cout << ((MatrixXf(1,2) << 0, 2).finished()) * ((MatrixXf(2,1) << 0, 2).finished()) << endl;
But when I try to do this
MatrixXf mtemp(2,1);
mtemp(0,0) = ((MatrixXf(1,2) << 0, 2).finished()) * ((MatrixXf(2,1) << 0, 2).finished());
It said 'cannot convert const Eigen::GeneralProduct to float in assignment'.

If mat is an 1-by-1 matrix, then mat.value() is its only entry as a scalar.
Thus, you can do
mtemp(0,0) = (((MatrixXf(1,2) << 0, 2).finished())
* ((MatrixXf(2,1) << 0, 2).finished())).value();

Possible rounding error? C++

I'm still very new to c++, so forgive me if this should is an ignorant question. The purpose of this short code is to calculate a monthly car payment based on 6 user inputs.
Using these inputs, 623.72 is output, however I was expecting 626.81
Inputs, in order: 20000,
0.06,
1000,
100,
0.07,
36.
Can anyone shed any light on why my answer is slightly off? Am I running into a rounding error? Am I rounding in the wrong place or using a wrong variable type?
Thanks!
The formula for monthly payment is broken down into steps which made it easier to write. It's based off this formula:
monthly_payment =
Final_price_minus_downpayment * ( (monthly_rate * (1 + monthly_rate)^num_months / (1 + monthly_rate)^num_months - 1 )
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <cmath>
using std::cout;
using std::cin;
using std::endl;
using std::pow;
using std::fixed;
using std::setprecision;
int main() {
//Initializing the 6 user inputs
double carPrice;
double salesTaxRate;
double downPayment;
double titleAndFees;
double yearlyInterestRate;
double loanDuration;
//Getting the 6 user inputs
cin >> carPrice;
cin >> salesTaxRate;
cin >> downPayment;
cin >> titleAndFees;
cin >> yearlyInterestRate;
cin >> loanDuration;
//Calculate the monthly Payment
double salesTax = carPrice * salesTaxRate;
double totalPrice = carPrice + salesTax;
double finalPriceMinusDown = totalPrice - downPayment;
double monthlyInterestRate = yearlyInterestRate / 12.0;
//Formula broken down into steps
double step1 = pow((1+monthlyInterestRate),loanDuration);
cout << step1 << endl;
double step2 = monthlyInterestRate * step1;
cout << step2 << endl;
double step3 = step1 - 1;
cout << step3 << endl;
double step4 = step2 / step3;
cout << step4 << endl;
double step5 = finalPriceMinusDown * step4;
cout << step5 << endl;
double monthlyPayment = step5;
//cout << "The monthly payment is: ";
cout << fixed << setprecision(2) << monthlyPayment;
}

Eigen reduction examples are not building with Error C2100 illegal indirection

I am trying to use examples from
Reduction Dimensions
section of Eigen Tensors README
This:
// Create a tensor of 2 dimensions
Eigen::Tensor<int, 2> a(2, 3);
a.setValues({{1, 2, 3}, {6, 5, 4}});
// Reduce it along the second dimension (1)...
Eigen::array<int, 1> dims({1 /* dimension to reduce */});
// ...using the "maximum" operator.
// The result is a tensor with one dimension. The size of
// that dimension is the same as the first (non-reduced) dimension of a.
Eigen::Tensor<int, 1> b = a.maximum(dims);
cout << "a" << endl << a << endl << endl;
cout << "b" << endl << b << endl << endl;
And other examples from that section gives me Error C2100 illegal indirection compile error. In VS 2015. Everything else works and compile well. Any ideas what is the problem with that code?
Eigen::array<int, 1> dims({1 /* dimension to reduce */});
Should be changed to:
const std::array<DenseIndex, 1> action_cards_dims = { 1 };

performing N independent 1D FFT on a 2D matrix with FFTW

I have a 2 dimensional matrix with each column corresponding to one independent signal. I am going to perform N 1D fft on each column. In matlab, apply a fft to a 2D matrix will do the trick. But I am porting my code to c++ with fftw. I wonder if there is a way to do so. I try the following code by setting the column size to 1 and row size to 4 (total row number), but it does not help.
#include <iostream>
#include <complex>
#include "fftw3.h"
using namespace std;
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
complex<double> data[4][2];
data[0][0] = complex<double>(1,1);
data[1][0] = complex<double>(2,1);
data[2][0] = complex<double>(3,1);
data[3][0] = complex<double>(4,1);
data[0][1] = complex<double>(1,1);
data[1][1] = complex<double>(1,2);
data[2][1] = complex<double>(1,3);
data[3][1] = complex<double>(1,4);
cout << "original data ..." << endl;
cout << data[0][0] << '\t' << data[0][1] << endl;
cout << data[1][0] << '\t' << data[1][1] << endl;
cout << data[2][0] << '\t' << data[2][1] << endl;
cout << data[3][0] << '\t' << data[3][1] << endl;
cout << endl << endl;
fftw_plan plan=fftw_plan_dft_2d(4, 1,(fftw_complex*)&data[0][0], (fftw_complex*)&data[0][0], FFTW_FORWARD, FFTW_ESTIMATE);
fftw_execute(plan);
cout << "after fftw ..." << endl;
cout << data[0][0] << '\t' << data[0][1] << endl;
cout << data[1][0] << '\t' << data[1][1] << endl;
cout << data[2][0] << '\t' << data[2][1] << endl;
cout << data[3][0] << '\t' << data[3][1] << endl;
return 0;
}
Above code takes the first and second row and reshape them to 2x2 matrix then perform a 2D fft.
Up to now, the only way that comes to my mind is as follow. Let's say I have NxM (N rows, M columns), I create M fftw plans for M 1D fftw. I execute M fftw in serial to get the result. But in practical application, the matrix is very big, M is so large. It is very inefficient to do this way. Any better idea? Thanks.
For those stumbling across this nowadays, the FFTW devs have implemented routines for this operation, which is faster than looping through each column and taking a separate transform. You certainly don't want to take a 2D transform (as is shown in the question), which is mathematically different than row-wise 1D transforms.
The key to you question is in fftw_plan_many_dft. Here is a link to the full documentation.
Here is an example (modifed from the above link) that illustrates what you're looking for.
#include "fftw3.h"
int main() {
fftw_complex *A; // array of data
A = (fftw_complex*) fftw_malloc(sizeof(fftw_complex)*10*3);
// ...
/* Transform each column of a 2d array with 10 rows and 3 columns */
int rank = 1; /* not 2: we are computing 1d transforms */
int n[] = {10}; /* 1d transforms of length 10 */
int howmany = 3;
int idist = 1;
int odist = 1;
/* distance between two elements in the same column */
int istride = 3;
int ostride = 3;
int *inembed = n, *onembed = n;
/* forward, in-place, 1D transform of each column */
fftw_plan p;
p = fftw_plan_many_dft(rank, n, howmany, A, inembed, istride, idist, A, onembed, ostride, odist, FFTW_FORWARD, FFTW_ESTIMATE);
// ...
/* run transform */
fftw_execute_dft(p, A, A);
// ...
/* we don't want memory leaks */
fftw_destroy_plan(p);
fftw_free(A);
}

OpenCV perspectiveTransform broken function

Im trying to use perspectiveTransform but I keep getting error. I tried to follow the solution from this thread http://answers.opencv.org/question/18252/opencv-assertion-failed-for-perspective-transform/
_players[i].getCoordinates() is of type Point
_homography_matrix is a 3 x 3 Mat
Mat temp_Mat = Mat::zeros(2, 1, CV_32FC2);
for (int i = 0; i < _players.size(); i++)
{
cout << Mat(_players[i].get_Coordinates()) << endl;
perspectiveTransform(Mat(_players[i].get_Coordinates()), temp_Mat, _homography_matrix);
}
Also, how do I convert temp_Mat into type Point ?
OpenCV Error: Assertion failed (scn + 1 == m.cols) in cv::perspectiveTransform
Basically you just need to correct from
Mat(_players[i].get_Coordinates()) ...
to
Mat2f(_players[i].get_Coordinates()) ...
In the first case you are creating a 2x1, 1 channel float matrix, in the second case (correct) you create a 1x1, 2 channel float matrix.
You also don't need to initialize temp_Mat.
You can also use template Mat_ to better control the types of your Mats. E.g. creating a Mat of type CV_32FC2 is equivalent to create a Mat2f.
This sample code will show you also how to convert back and forth between Mat and Point:
#include <opencv2\opencv.hpp>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
using namespace cv;
int main()
{
// Some random points
vector<Point2f> pts = {Point2f(1,2), Point2f(5,10)};
// Some random transform matrix
Mat1f m(3,3, float(0.1));
for (int i = 0; i < pts.size(); ++i)
{
cout << "Point: " << pts[i] << endl;
Mat2f dst;
perspectiveTransform(Mat2f(pts[i]), dst, m);
cout << "Dst mat: " << dst << endl;
Point2f p(dst(0));
cout << "Dst point: " << p << endl;
}
return 0;
}

Eigen: Concatenating matrices and vectors

Using the Eigen C++ library, I have a Matrix3f A, a Vector4f b, and a Vector4f c. I want to create a Matrix4f M out of these. I want the top 3-by-3 corner of M to be A, I want to final column of M to be b, and I want the bottom row of M to be c.
I know how to do this by simply creating a Matrix4f and assigning each element individually. But is there a more elegant solution that Eigen supports?
Does this count as elegant enough?
#include <Eigen/Sparse>
#include <iostream>
using namespace Eigen;
using std::cout;
using std::endl;
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
Matrix4f m = Matrix4f::Random();
Matrix3f A = Matrix3f::Constant(0.1);
Vector4f b = Vector4f::Constant(0.2), c = Vector4f::Constant(0.3);
cout << m << endl << endl;
cout << A << endl << endl;
cout << b << endl << endl;
cout << c << endl << endl;
m.block(0, 0, 3, 3) = A;
m.col(3) = b;
m.row(3) = c;
cout << m << endl << endl;
return 0;
}
Note that your question is kinda ambiguous, as the (3,3) position will be determined by the order of assignment between b and c.
