Revision history [back]

I don't believe there is any more elegant way.

When clearing obstacles, costmap_2d only trusts laser scans returning a definite range. Indoors, that makes sense. Outdoors, most scans return max range, which does not clear intervening obstacles. A fake scan with slightly shorter ranges can be constructed that does clear them out.

That hack is messy, but not particularly difficult.
