How to increase the cell size in occupancy grid properly?

Hi,

I want to change the cell size in the occupancy grid. I changed the resolution from 0.1 to 0.5. But after this, my exploration algorithm fails at first step only. Any idea why this is happening?

I want to increase the cell size in order to decrease the number of frontiers at each step.

Note: I made changes in mapper.yaml not in costmap image description

It would be helpful if you could edit your question with a screenshot of the costmap you mention. With a 0.5 m cell size, there is a good chance that huge occupied cells prevent frontiers from being reachable.

Sorry for the delayed response. I have attached the screenshot of my costmap.yaml. But, I made the changes in mapper.yaml not in costmap. Do you think that can be the reason?

I mean a screenshot of the actual costmap visualized in rviz, not the settings. Also, in the screenshot the resolution is set to 0.05, not 0.5 as stated in your text.

When you say "I changed the resolution from 0.1 to 0.5" , you mean that you changed the resolution from 0.1 to 0.05? That's what i see in the first screenshot "resolution: 0.05".

Can you put your exploration algorithm here?
