in amcl amcl_node.cpp what does the draw_weight_as_height_ parameter do?
I am trying to modify amcl_node.cpp to publish the value for max_weight as a measure of how well the laser hits line up with map obstacles. However, there is a parameter, draw_weight_as_height_ that has to be set true for max_weight to be set to anything other than 0. I cannot figure out what draw_weight_as_height_ does.
Refer to this question as to why I am looking at max_weight http://answers.ros.org/question/21799...
Can you point to where this is in the code? I can't find it.
ah, this is in the Mayfield version of the nav stack. I will go back to the main ROS version.
I also need this feature. Do you mean this release? https://github.com/MayfieldRoboticsPu...
Yes, that is the code I was using. I swapped back to the standard ROS base due to better support, but I really liked the Mayfield nav stack code. They fixed a TON of bugs and issues that were in the ROS nav stack. I think it is still maintained, but I have not used it in a long time.
