2.0.0 (2019-11-12)

• Update RadarInfo message and fix dependencies Updated the RadarInfo message with new fields fully describing the data and added comments to explain them. Also fixed a small dependency in the RViz plugins package for display of the RadarInfo messages, however this plugin is not complete anyway.

1.1.0 (2019-10-29)

• Minor fixes to package XML formatting Fixed the package XML file formatting and added missing content to conform to the suggested style guidelines.
• Use custom PCL radar point for data converter class Switched from using the normal pcl::PointXYZ type to the custom radar specific ainstein_radar_filters::PointRadarTarget type in the radar to point cloud conversion class. Tested on radar data and verified that it allows coloring clouds according to additional radar-specific fields eg range, speed, etc. This permits using existing point cloud-based filter node/lets to filter based on radar parameters, deprecating eg the range filter class in this repo. Also removed a debug printout from the rviz plugin class.
• Ensure RadarTargetArray visual cleared on hide Fixed bug so that the RadarTargetDisplay visuals get cleared when the display for them is hidden. Still fails to work sometimes, maybe there is a race condition - return to this later.

1.0.1 (2019-09-24)

• Merge branch 'master' of https://github.com/AinsteinAI/ainstein_radar
• Add RadarInfo RViz message filter display, compiles Added a message filter display for RadarInfo messages in RViz. It compiles and works fine but needs to be modified because the scaling of the FOV cone (currently the only supported visualization for this message type) does not work intuitively. The position of the cone shape visual is also in the center of the cone, so the shape must also be translated. Come back to this later.
• Add collision time-based color to Rviz radar visual Added the option to color radar target array messages based on their time to collision (range divided by speed, corrected for direction) in addition to normal (flat) coloring. This is similar to the Rviz color options for PointCloud2 based on any fields in that message. Still needs cleaning up so that the non-flat color method hides the color selector, as well as adds configurable min/max collision times for determining coloring. The colors are currently fixed to green at >=10s, red at <=2s and yellow in the middle (with smooth interpolation)
• Refactor RViz plugin naming and clean up code Refactored the RViz plugin for the RadarTargetArray message type to reflect this name, allowing for other plugins for aggregate radar types (such as the deprecated RadarData which contained both raw and tracked target arrays). Also began code cleanup, removing irrelevant comments, fixing spacing etc.
• Fix multiple bugs causing Rviz plugin to crash Fixed bugs in the RadarTargetArray Rviz message filter plugin which were causing the plugin to crash when loaded. Tested all functionality and confirmed working with sample data from uSharp3D.
• Change raw pointers to rviz properties to smart pointers
• Rename ainstein_rviz_plugins to ainstein_radar_rviz_plugins for consistency
