Hi, I would like to know if someone have a package to invert a laserscan.

Thanks.

I don't know a package that can do this, but maybe the driver can already invert the laserscan, which scanner do you use? For example the http://wiki.ros.org/cob_sick_s300 driver has a parameter inverted. Or it could be enough to turn the tf laserscanner frame upside down.

What is an "inverted laser scan" supposed to be?

@fsteinhardt I have seen this package, it's indeed the param I look for in the sick_tim package. @dornhege it's just to inverse all values in the tabs of the laserscan structure, I 'm more concern about the cpu load that this require at different frequencies.

I also succeed to display it in the correct orientation in RVIZ but I need to have the laserscan message with the good direction.
