2017-01-17 02:58:05 -0500 asked a question Adding covariance to simulated odometry

Hi all,

I'm coding up this tutorial on odometry with a simulated custom robot. As part of it, I have been requested to include covariance in the published Odom values.

Can anyone describe to me what is the most straightforward way I can introduce this covariance? Clarification: I am not asking about including the covariance in the rosmsg, but generating a simulated covariance.

2016-12-12 01:40:27 -0500 asked a question Issue with HectorSLAM in Indigo with SICK scanner.

Hello all, I was asked to look into applying hectorSLAM to a dataset consisting of two scanners. One scanner is a Hokuyo UTM-30LX-EW, chopped down to a 180FOV, with ~720 samples. Second scanner is a SICK S30A-7011DA, with a 180FOV, with 760 samples.

I'm using HectorSLAM in Indigo.

When I apply HectorSLAM to the same dataset, but with different scanners, a great crisp result is given for the Hokuyo. I've uploaded to imgur since I don't have enough points to post the map.

When applying the same configuration, but with the SICK, I get a mess.

Can anyone give me a reason for this?

2016-11-24 02:24:06 -0500 asked a question How to compare two .pgm maps?

I have been testing a number of SLAM implementations in a simple stageros arena. I would like to compare the maps generated from each of the algorithms to the arena map. I want to be able to quantify each so I can compare results.

What is a good way of doing this? KNN? What are the best metrics?
