hi

i'm building the map with Hector SLAM and my customized lidar. The structure of customized lidar is just like RPLidar, it's always rotating.

▼ I got a good scanning result when i placed the lidar in a single point.

(there's a big window, so the down side of the map looks like that, it's correct)

▼ but the map sometimes failed.

　

　

　

I have no idea why the system is so weak that once if i moved or rotated the heading of lidar too fast with hands, the map failed easily. After checking some of the Q&A here, and i found this, here's some questions about the problem happened on my system :

---

• Is it caused by the low msg update rate too ? Or is it caused by some other problems ?

• If it's not caused by the low msg update rate, what effect does the low msg update rate do to the SLAM map ?

• what's the minimum angle resolution or the basic needs for Hector SLAM that can make the scan matching work successfully ?

• it is that the angle should always be 0~ 2pi in a single msg ? is 0~ pi enough for Hector SLAM to make a map ?

－ thanks ! :)
