How to create point cloud map from raw point cloud with AutowareAuto 1.0.0
I want to create a point cloud map with Velodyne VLP16 and the ndt_mapping_node provided by AutowareAuto 1.0.0. The ndt_mapping_node always downsamples the raw point cloud. Therefore, the created map was also downsampled. I need raw point cloud maps because the downsampled map has few points and I cannot conduct ndt_matching using the map. I think it is realized by turning off ndt from this node. Please tell me how to create a raw point cloud map or turn off ndt from this node. I looked for the setting in a param file but I could not found the setting to turn off ndt.
I create the point cloud by the following procedure.
- launch nodes in ROS foxy for velodyne.
ros2 launch velodyne velodyne-all-nodes-VLP16-launch.py
- launch ndt_mapping_nodes
source ~/AutowareAuto/install/setup.bash
ros2 launch ndt_mapping_nodes ndt_mapper.launch.py
- change path to created map path
~/AutowareAuto/src/tools/autoware_demos/param/autoware_academy_demo/map_publisher.param.yaml
- launch demos
ros2 launch autoware_demos autoware_academy_ndt_demo_no_odometry.launch.py
- launch ndt_mapping_nodes
