Revision history [back]

I am not sure about the map builder tools, but perhaps when you create the point cloud map there is some offset from the ground plane due to sensor position?

Perhaps you can manual align by translating the point cloud map? Using the package pcl_tools: pcl_transform_pointcloud input.pcd output.pcd -trans 0,0,1

this would shift the point cloud up one meter.
