2013-11-19 18:09:01 -0500 commented answer how to use ethzasl_icp_mapping with velodyne?

Hey, is odometry input (wheel, GPS, IMU) really necessary for node ethzasl_icp_mapping to work? I tried the node with velodyne 32E pcap file without any odometry input. But it couldn't output direction or move forward for more than 5m. After which it stopped at a point and kept adding points at the same place.

2013-10-20 23:34:51 -0500 asked a question ethzasl_icp_mapping not moving forward while registering.

Initially map moves forward a little bit but after that it just keep on adding points standing still at the same place. Is there problem with the launch file? I am using velodyne-32-E and configuration file from artor.

this is the launch file I am using:

    <launch> 
<node pkg="velodyne_driver" type="velodyne_node" name="velodyne_driver">
    <param name="model" value="32E"/>
    <param name="pcap" value="/home/administrator/Desktop/data/tunnel.pcap"/>
    <param name="read_once" value="true"/>
    <param name="frame_id" value="velodyne"/>
</node>

<node pkg="velodyne_pointcloud" type="cloud_node" name="cloud_node">

    <param name="min_range" value="3.0"/>
    <param name="max_range" value="130.0"/>
</node>

2013-10-20 08:57:31 -0500 asked a question I am trying to use velodyne_height_map for velodyne HDL-32E.

Actually I am new to ROS. I read velodyne_height_map link given on ros wiki carefully but may not have understood it completely so here is what is did.

  1. roslaunch velodyne_pointcloud 32e_points.launch calibration:=/home/user/32db.yaml (i.e. calling the velodyne point cloud which i think is subscriber and velodyne basic driver)
  2. rosrun nodelet nodelet standalone velodyne_height_map/HeightMapNodelet (for using height based algo to get obstacles.) But, Its constantly showing this error

ERROR:

I am using groovy and velodyne 32E for ethzasl_icp_mapper, but it keep on showing this error ERROR: cannot launch node of type [point_cloud_converter/point_cloud_converter]: point_cloud_converter artor file in launch folder i.e. artor_mapper.launch mentions this <remap from="cloud_in" to="/velodyne/assembled_cloud2"/> which really doesn't exist.

but I am not able to post question error says "LOW KARMA"

I am trying to use velodyne_height_map for velodyne HDL-32E. Actually I am new to ROS and to the website also thatswhy posting my question here as the website says I nee dto increase my karma to post it on the website. I read this link(http://wiki.ros.org/velodyne_height_map) carefully but may not have understood it completely so here is what is did. 1. roslaunch velodyne_pointcloud 32e_points.launch calibration:=/home/user/32db.yaml (i.e. calling the velodyne point cloud which i think is subscriber and velodyne basic driver) 2. rosrun nodelet nodelet standalone velodyne_height_map/HeightMapNodelet (for using height based algo to get obstacles.) But, Its constantly showing this error ERROR: [ INFO] [1381872765.269655830]: height map parameters: 320x320, 0.5m cells, 0.25m threshold, not publishing full clouds
