About unit in map
How does the unit in map related to the real world unit? Since I want to modify the map by hand to make it more accurate. I really want to know how is the unit working. For example, how many pixels in the pgm is one meter? I couldn't find relevant document about this.
Thanks!!

The map resolution (pixels per meter) is typically specified in the yaml file that goes with your map.

Mine says: "resolution: 0.050000". What does it suppose to mean? Thanks!

That means 5cm. Everything in ROS uses SI units or direct derivatives. See REP-103.
