carla_localization

Ground truth localization from CARLA simulation.

Nodes

localization

Publishes the ego vehicle’s ground truth pose as TF transforms. The transform chain is map -> odom -> base_link, where the map -> odom transform is identity (no drift in simulation) and odom -> base_link contains the vehicle’s actual pose from CARLA.

Coordinates are converted from CARLA’s left-handed system (X-forward, Y-right, Z-up) to ROS’s right-handed system (X-forward, Y-left, Z-up).

ros2 run carla_localization localization

Publications: /tf (tf2_msgs/TFMessage)

Parameters:

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
`carla_host`	string	`localhost`	CARLA server hostname
`carla_port`	int	`2000`	CARLA server port
`carla_timeout`	double	`10.0`	Connection timeout in seconds
`role_name`	string	`ego_vehicle`	Role name of the ego vehicle to track
`map_frame`	string	`map`	Name of the map frame
`odom_frame`	string	`odom`	Name of the odom frame
`base_frame`	string	`base_link`	Name of the base_link frame

carla_localization

Ground truth localization from CARLA simulation.

Nodes

localization

Publishes the ego vehicle’s ground truth pose as TF transforms. The transform chain is map -> odom -> base_link, where the map -> odom transform is identity (no drift in simulation) and odom -> base_link contains the vehicle’s actual pose from CARLA.

Coordinates are converted from CARLA’s left-handed system (X-forward, Y-right, Z-up) to ROS’s right-handed system (X-forward, Y-left, Z-up).

ros2 run carla_localization localization

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
`carla_host`	string	`localhost`	CARLA server hostname
`carla_port`	int	`2000`	CARLA server port
`carla_timeout`	double	`10.0`	Connection timeout in seconds

carla_localization

Ground truth localization from CARLA simulation.

Nodes

localization

Publishes the ego vehicle’s ground truth pose as TF transforms. The transform chain is map -> odom -> base_link, where the map -> odom transform is identity (no drift in simulation) and odom -> base_link contains the vehicle’s actual pose from CARLA.

Coordinates are converted from CARLA’s left-handed system (X-forward, Y-right, Z-up) to ROS’s right-handed system (X-forward, Y-left, Z-up).

ros2 run carla_localization localization

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
`carla_host`	string	`localhost`	CARLA server hostname
`carla_port`	int	`2000`	CARLA server port
`carla_timeout`	double	`10.0`	Connection timeout in seconds
