Revision history [back]

Your data looks like a ROS tf2 transform... or a "pose": is that where you got it from ?

Anyway, "tf"s are well visualised in RVIZ: so if that was the source, just select it in RVIZ.

If from other source, you can use python to put it into tf-format, broadcast it, and then see in RVIZ.

If this is of interest, I can post some sample code.

Your I assume your data looks like is from a ROS tf2 transform... or a odometry "pose": is that where you got it from ? or where from ?

Anyway, "tf"s are Normally a robot's pose is broadcast as a ROS tf transform, which is well visualised in RVIZ: so if that was the source, just select it in RVIZ.

If from other source, you can use python to put it into tf-format, broadcast it, and then see in RVIZ.

If this is of interest, I can post some sample code.code to put odom pose into a tf.
