<h2>Library <code>mrpt-maps</code></h2>
<hr>

This library includes (almost) all the maps usable for localization or mapping
in the rest of MRPT classes.

Interesting starting points:
<ul>
<li> To see the list of existing metric maps, see the classes inheriting from
the base virtual mrpt::slam::CMetricMap. <b>Note:</b> There are two special
maps which are not declared here in mrpt-maps, but 
in <a href="mrpt-vision.html" >mrpt-vision</a>, due to their
heavy dependence on computer vision functions. </li>
<li> This library includes an embedded version of the ANN library for 
kd-tree fast construction and queries. It's used internally in CPointsMap, but 
could be used directly by the user. See ANNkd_tree. </li>
<li> This library also adds new classes to the namespace mrpt::opengl, which 
couldn't be included in the library mrpt-opengl due to its heavy dependence on
map classes declared here. The classes are:
mrpt::opengl::CAngularObservationMesh,
mrpt::opengl::CPlanarLaserScan </li> 
</ul> 

Please, note that there is another very important map class 
(mrpt::slam::CMultiMetricMap) which is not in mrpt-maps, but in the library mrpt-slam 
(the reason is that there is not another reasonable way to factor MRPT into small libraries).


See the list of classes in mrpt::slam (not all those classes are in mrpt-maps).
