Eigen's AutoDiffJacobian, need some help getting a learning example to work

问题

I have been using Eigen's AutoDiffScalar with much success and would now like to go over to the AutoDiffJacobian instead of doing this over by myself. Hence I created a learning example after have studied the AutoDiffJacobian.h, but something is wrong.

Functor:

template <typename Scalar>
struct adFunctor
{
  typedef Eigen::Matrix<Scalar, 3, 1> InputType;
  typedef Eigen::Matrix<Scalar, 2, 1> ValueType;
  typedef Eigen::Matrix<Scalar,
                        ValueType::RowsAtCompileTime,
                        InputType::RowsAtCompileTime> JacobianType;

  enum {
    InputsAtCompileTime = InputType::RowsAtCompileTime,
    ValuesAtCompileTime = ValueType::RowsAtCompileTime
  };

  adFunctor() {}

  size_t inputs() const { return InputsAtCompileTime; }

  void operator() (const InputType &input,
                   ValueType *output) const
  {
    Scalar s1 = Scalar(0), s2 = Scalar(0);

    /* Some operations to test the AD. */
    for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
    {
      s1 += log(input(i));
      s2 += sqrt(input(i));
    }

    (*output)(0) = s1;
    (*output)(1) = s2;
  }
};

Usage:

Eigen::Matrix<double, 3, 1> in;
in << 1,2,3;
Eigen::Matrix<double, 2, 1> out;
Eigen::AutoDiffJacobian< adFunctor<double> > adjac;
adjac(in, &out);

The error that is received from this as is follows:

/usr/include/eigen3/unsupported/Eigen/src/AutoDiff/AutoDiffJacobian.h: In instantiation of ‘void Eigen::AutoDiffJacobian<Functor>::operator()(const InputType&, Eigen::AutoDiffJacobian<Functor>::ValueType*, Eigen::AutoDiffJacobian<Functor>::JacobianType*) const [with Functor = adFunctor<double>; Eigen::AutoDiffJacobian<Functor>::InputType = Eigen::Matrix<double, 3, 1>; Eigen::AutoDiffJacobian<Functor>::ValueType = Eigen::Matrix<double, 2, 1>; Eigen::AutoDiffJacobian<Functor>::JacobianType = Eigen::Matrix<double, 2, 3, 0, 2, 3>]’:

From this error it seems that I am somehow not having the correct types for my functor for the second call to the functor in AutoDiffJacobian.h, but the first call to it works. I hope someone here has an idea why and can help, maybe I have just misunderstood the usage.

EDIT: A compilable example that shows the problem:

#include <Eigen/Dense>
#include <unsupported/Eigen/AutoDiff>

/*
 * Testing differentiation that will produce a Jacobian, using functors and the
 * AutoDiffJacobian helper.
 */

template <typename Scalar>
struct adFunctor
{
  typedef Eigen::Matrix<Scalar, 3, 1> InputType;
  typedef Eigen::Matrix<Scalar, 2, 1> ValueType;
  typedef Eigen::Matrix<Scalar,
                        ValueType::RowsAtCompileTime,
                        InputType::RowsAtCompileTime> JacobianType;

  enum {
    InputsAtCompileTime = InputType::RowsAtCompileTime,
    ValuesAtCompileTime = ValueType::RowsAtCompileTime
  };

  adFunctor() {}

  size_t inputs() const { return InputsAtCompileTime; }

  void operator() (const InputType &input,
                   ValueType *output) const
  {
    Scalar s1 = Scalar(0), s2 = Scalar(0);

    /* Some operations to test the AD. */
    for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
    {
      s1 += log(input(i));
      s2 += sqrt(input(i));
    }

    (*output)(0) = s1;
    (*output)(1) = s2;
  }
};



int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  Eigen::Matrix<double, 3, 1> in;
  in << 1,2,3;
  Eigen::Matrix<double, 2, 1> out;
  Eigen::AutoDiffJacobian< adFunctor<double> > adjac;
  adjac(in, &out);

  return 0;
}

Okey, after a lot of testing I got it to work. It was just me misunderstanding the error from the compiler that said it straight out, I was missing the template for the operator itself.

It just needs to be changed to:

template <typename T1, typename T2>
void operator() (const T1 &input, T2 *output) const

Now it works like a treat! I hope someone more than me has usage of this.
