Initialise Eigen::vector with std::vector

by

According to Eigen Doc, Vector is a typedef for Matrix, and the Matrix has a constructor with the following signature:

Matrix (const Scalar *data)

Constructs a fixed-sized matrix initialized with coefficients starting at data.

And vector reference defines the std::vector::data as:

std::vector::data

T* data();
const T* data() const;

Returns pointer to the underlying array serving as element storage.
The pointer is such that range [data(); data() + size()) is always a
valid range, even if the container is empty.

So, you could just pass the vector’s data as a Vector3d constructor parameter:

Eigen::Vector3d v2(v1.data());

Also, as of Eigen 3.2.8, the constructor mentioned above defined as:

template<typename _Scalar, int _Rows, int _Cols, int _Options, int _MaxRows, int _MaxCols>
inline Matrix<_Scalar, _Rows, _Cols, _Options, _MaxRows, _MaxCols>
  ::Matrix(const Scalar *data)
{
  this->_set_noalias(Eigen::Map<const Matrix>(data));
}

As you can see, it also uses Eigen::Map, as noted by @ggael and @gongzhitaao.
