In the vein of ros/geometry#113, I added converters for Eigen::Isometry3d also to tf2_eigen. Eigen::Affine3d cannot exploit the SE(3) structure of transforms and thus needs to

  • perform an SVD to compute rotation()
  • perform real matrix inversion for inverse()

Hence, Affine3d should be actually avoided.

Affine3d::rotation() performs a costly SVD.

msg.orientation.y = Eigen::Quaterniond(in.rotation()).y();
msg.orientation.z = Eigen::Quaterniond(in.rotation()).z();
msg.orientation.w = Eigen::Quaterniond(in.rotation()).w();
Eigen::Quaterniond q(in.linear());

Constrain quaternions to the half-space w >= 0 as in tf1.

@tfoote Do you plan a new release of geometry2 any time soon?
This is a blocker for moveit/moveit#1096.
Thanks.

Yes, I've just cleared the backlog of PRs and plan to release after the next indigo/kinetic sync

This change needs to be ported to the ros2 version of geometry2 for moveit's conversion: https://github.com/ros2/geometry2

Ideally the whole geometry2 would be synced to the ros2 version

As of C++11, the size() method of a std::list is guaranteed
to have constant cost, so we don't need to track the message
count ourselves.
