Revision history [back]

While not documented anywhere, I have an octo_to_2d utility in the map_tools package of my sandbox repository. This will take a COLOR octomap in .ot format, take a slice at a specified height, and publish an appropriate map. You can then use map_saver to save the map. The source code is pretty self documenting as far as parameters and topics.
