hector mapping tf issue: TF_NAN_INPUT and TF_DENORMALIZED_QUATERNION
I'm facing very odd issues. While running hector_mapping on my differential 2wd I'm getting the following error on each run after some period of time:
Error: TF_NAN_INPUT: Ignoring transform for child_frame_id "scanmatcher_frame" from authority "unknown_publisher" because of a nan value in the transform (nan nan 0.000000) (nan nan nan nan)
at line 244 in /tmp/binarydeb/ros-kinetic-tf2-0.5.20/src/buffer_core.cpp
Error: TF_DENORMALIZED_QUATERNION: Ignoring transform for child_frame_id "scanmatcher_frame" from authority "unknown_publisher" because of an invalid quaternion in the transform (nan nan nan nan)
at line 257 in /tmp/binarydeb/ros-kinetic-tf2-0.5.20/src/buffer_core.cpp
This happens randomly, but almost on each run at some point of time.
Another strange issue is somewhere at around 6th minute after starting hector_mapping, the hector_mapping would throw the following error:
lookupTransform base_link to laser timed out. Could not transform laser scan into base_frame.
There are no errors displayed when doing a roswtf and this happens everytime, even though the robot is stationary.
Doing rosrun rqt_tf_tree rqt_tf_tree shows the tree as it should be (of course with the map --> odom link missing, but base-link --> laser is perfect)
How to solve these issues?
Not sure if this is helpful information, but I'm using hector and required packages over raspberry pi with/Kinetic as master and running rViz on my PC. Even after getting these errors, the connection is fine and no issues there
