Are you wanting to mark a costmap with your own costs or do you just want to use the costmap to track obstacles and inflation layers?

In rviz you've used a Gridcells Display to try and visualise your costmap. The Grid cells display subscribes to nav_msgs::Gridcells, whereas your costmaps are published as nav_msgs::OccupancyGrid. Change your rviz configuration to use the Map Display type for your costmaps. The Map display type subscribe to nav_msgs::OccupancyGrid

cheers

But I found that the type show is GridCells

$ rostopic type /move_base/local_costmap/obstacles nav_msgs/GridCells

I am following this tutorials ( http://wiki.ros.org/navigation/Tutori... )

I've not used Gridcells, but viewed costmaps using the costmap topic, in your case it should be /move_base/local_costmap/costmap. Do you have this topic?

Thank for the answering. I found the main problems.

  1. the package move_base doesnt support 32bit computer, after I use another computer to run, it works.
  2. one of the param (min_obstacles_height) has to be 0.

Now I can see the costmap, Thank you very much.
