link text I am doing navigation on ROS, while in gmapping the map which is published is also flickering. Please check the given link so you will get rough idea. Is there any TF issue?

It looks like you have multiple nodes publishing conflicting transforms between the odometry and map frames. You should run roswtf and rosrun tf view_frames , and see if either tool complains about multiple publishers for the same transform.

It could be a problem with your gmapping settings. I had the same flickering map and it occasionally relocated the map center in rviz.
For me I solved the problem by tweaking the map update settings especially the map_update_interval and particles. See this post for more info: https://answers.ros.org/question/1154...

This doesn't help; the PDF from rosrun tf view_frames will only show one publisher, even if there are many.

How do we get a more detailed tf tree ?

Hello @ahendrix the first tf we publish is it correct?. If it is not can you please tell me the issue

The first TF tree you've posted is complete, but I can't tell from the screenshot whether or not there are multiple publishers. The second TF tree you've posted is incomplete; it lacks the transform from odom to base_link.

Your problem could also be caused by multiple publishers of the transform between odom and base_link; is it possible that you have multiple publishers there?

ahendrix ( 2018-02-13 23:12:10 -0600 )edit

I checked there is no multiple publisher between odom and base_link

You may also want to looking at the raw transform to see if either of them is changing significantly; you can try tf_echo: rosrun tf tf_echo /map /odom and rosrun tf tf_echo /odom /base_link.
