Summary
This PR makes TrackingTensor work transparently with PyPose LieTensor inputs so tracked SE(3) parameters keep their LieTensor API instead of degrading to plain tensors.
The main user-facing effect is that code like
self.nodes = nn.Parameter(TrackingTensor(nodes))now preservespp.SE3behavior through indexing, so PGO code can use:instead of repeatedly re-wrapping everything with pp.SE3(...).
What Changed
nn.Parameter(...)torch.cat(..., dim=0)torch.vmap(jacrev(...))viapp.retain_ltype().Why
Previously, wrapping a pp.LieTensor in TrackingTensor stripped its LieTensor type and ltype, which forced downstream code to re-cast with pp.SE3(...) before every Lie operation.
This PR keeps the sparse-tracing behavior while preserving the LieTensor API, which makes the PGO path cleaner and less error-prone.
