Member Function Documentation

float ControllerUtil::computeAverage	(	HistoryMap *	histMap,
		float	currentValue
	)			`[static]`

This function gives a weighted value based on the history of values. When a value is requested, it is weighted using the number of previous encountered values. This function is for example used to average a series of location estimates.

If the history size is for example 4, then the previous value is weighted as 3/4, then one after that 2/4 and the last one 1/4. If a sensor does not have a proper value it is possible to write a defaultValue into the array. If all values in the array are equal to the defaultValue, the defaultValue will be returned.

Parameters:
