Use leddar sensor with Local_map package
Hi everyone, I tried to run the local_map package to get a occupation grid from the laser scan sensor (Leddar) but when i tried to run the package it doesn't construct the map... I tried the same package with the Laser msg from Kinect and it work very well. Do i need to do some changes on the message published by the Leddar package? Does anyone were able to use Leddar to map the local environment? Thanks
We'll need more information to be able to help. The leddar is pretty low resolution to do mapping but I guess it should work with local_map. Are you sure the leddar is outputting data? You can make sure by doing
rostopic echo /scan
Yes Leddar is outputting data. I solve the question and i post the response to my own question. I know that leddar have low resolution, but it will basically complete the other sensors to do the mapping. I will use just a local map because i only need to map the environment around the platform.
Please correct me if I'm not using the best approach. Thanks!
