Create a custom Lidar message
Hello everyone, I'm trying to create a neural model for detecting a docking station using a RPLidar A1. For these a created a lot of rosbag file which I converted to txt file and edited it to separated the data (I wanted to have only a scan of docking station, not the rest of the room). Right now I'm facing a problem with taking back the txt file into rosbag.
Below is the txt file as example
%time,
field.header.seq,
field.header.stamp,
field.header.frame_id,
field.angle_min,
field.angle_max,
field.angle_increment,
field.time_increment,
field.scan_time,
field.range_min,
field.range_max,

What is the question? Do you want to extract data from a bag file? Or create a bag file from data? Or create a ROS message?
I want to convert a bag file into txt file. Edit it to only have a docking station without the rest of room and recreate a bag file from it
I would suggest the following simple pipeline for this pre-processing:
Alternatively, you can make use of the rosbag API to retrieve your messages directly from the bag file. An example of using rosbag API is shown here.
