rospy.Time(0) 这是什么含义? 跟rospy.Time.now() 有啥区别？ Hi, I'm learning tf and time at this link
and I'm confused about the different between rospy.Time(0) and rospy.Time.now()
Could you explain it for me?
Thank you very much!!
I'm confused about the different between
rospy.Time(0)androspy.Time.now()
rospy.Time.now() just returns the current 'wall clock time' (or the simulated clock, depending on whether you have a Clock server running).
rospy.Time(0) constructs a Time instance that has special significance in TF contexts: it will cause lookupTransform(..) and friends to return the latest available data for a specific transform, instead of the data at a specific point in time.
the tutorial you referenced to clearly explains to you answer
for rospy.Time.now():
When a broadcaster sends out a transform, it takes some time before that transform gets into the buffer (usually a couple of milliseconds). So, when you request a frame transform at time "now", you should wait a few milliseconds for that information to arrive
Just to teach you about the tf buffer and the time delays that are associated with it. For real tf use cases, it is often perfectly fine to use Time(0)
