norlab_icp_mapper_ros

A bridge between norlab_icp_mapper and ROS. Check the mapper's documentation for a detailed guide.

Node Parameters

Name Description Possible values Default Value
odom_frame Frame used for odometry. Any string "odom"
robot_frame Frame centered on the robot. Any string "base_link"
mapping_config Path to the file containing the mapping config. Any file path ""
initial_map_file_name Path of the file from which the initial map is loaded. Any file path ""
initial_robot_pose Transformation matrix in homogeneous coordinates describing the initial pose of the robot in the map frame. Any matrix of dimension 3 or 4 "[[1, 0, 0, 0], [0, 1, 0, 0], [0, 0, 1, 0], [0, 0, 0, 1]]"
final_map_file_name Path of the file in which the final map is saved when is_online is false. Any file path "map.vtk"
final_trajectory_file_name Path of the file in which the final trajectory is saved when is_online is false. Any file path "trajectory.vtk"
map_publish_rate Rate at which the map is published (in Hertz). It can be slower depending on the map update rate. (0, ∞) 10.0
map_tf_publish_rate Rate at which the map tf is published (in Hertz). (0, ∞) 10.0
max_idle_time Delay to wait being idle before shutting down ROS when is_online is false (in seconds). [0, ∞) 10.0
is_mapping true when map updates are wanted, false when only localization is wanted. {true, false} true
is_online true when online mapping is wanted, false otherwise. {true, false} true
is_3D true when a 3D sensor is used, false when a 2D sensor is used. {true, false} true
save_map_cells_on_hard_drive true when map cell storage on hard drive is wanted, false when map cell storage in RAM is wanted. {true, false} true
publish_tfs_between_registrations When false, the map tf is published only after registration. Otherwise with map_tf_publish_rate. {true, false} true

Node Services

Name Description Parameter Name Parameter Description
save_map Saves the current map. filename Path of the file in which the map is saved.
