Class PerceptManager

java.lang.Object

org.commonreality.sensors.base.PerceptManager

public class PerceptManager
extends java.lang.Object

the percept manager is tailored (primarily for afferent percepts) to create percepts for arbitrary programmatic objects. Objects marked as dirty in the PerceptManager are passed through the set of IObjectCreators, to find the set of possible percepts for the object. The IObjectCreator is responsible for creating the IObjectKey which tracks the percept-object linkage as well as the initial ISimulationObject (most likely a IAfferentObject).

The ISimulationObject and IObjectKey for that object is then passed through the set of IObjectProcessors which can add additional properties to the percept.

Once all of this is done, the percept manager signals the BaseSensor will all the additions and modifications( BaseSensor.add(Collection) and BaseSensor.update(Collection). Removals are handled by flagging flagForRemoval(Object) the object, which then delegates the actual clean up to the IObjectCreator and the BaseSensor
