 * \brief This class is the base class for visual_object updater.

 * This base implementation updates the object position with the slotnames
 *  object_->getName()+"_POS_LAT", object_->getName()+"_POS_LON", object_->getName()+"_POS_ALT",
 * object_->getName()+"_ROT_X", object_->getName()+"_ROT_Y", object_->getName()+"_ROT_Z", 
 * 
 * To implement custom updaters, please derive from this class and overwrite the functions preUpdate(..) and postUpdate(..).
 * Take care to call nested preUpdater and postUpdater to allow updater chains.
