Hi, I'm working on a navigation service and I saw here that the right way to convert from map point to grid cell is: cellx = floor((mapx - originx) / resolution) But I'm having a hard time understanding how should I implement the reverse conversion (from grid to map), because it is not one to one (one grid cell includes many map points). can you please help? Thanks!
This will get you the center of the grid cell with "map" being a nav_msgs/OccupancyGrid:
map_x_coordinate_in_meters = (gridcell_x_coordinate * map.info.resolution) +
map.info.origin.position.x +
map.info.resolution / 2;
map_y_coordinate_in_meters = (gridcell_y_coordinate * map.info.resolution) +
map.info.origin.position.y +
map.info.resolution/ 2;
You are correct, a grid contains a lot of "map points" and that information was lost when codifying in a lower resolution (the grid) so you can only choose where the output map point is.
