LaMa - A Localization and Mapping library.

https://github.com/iris-ua/iris_lama

Build

Developed and maintained by Eurico Pedrosa, University of Aveiro (C) 2019.

Overview

LaMa is a C++11 software library for robotic localization and mapping developed at the Intelligent Robotics and Systems (IRIS) Laboratory from the University of Aveiro - Portugal. It includes a framework for 3D volumetric grids (for mapping), a localization algorithm based on scan matching and two SLAM solution (an Online SLAM and a Particle Filter SLAM).

The main feature is efficiency. Low computational effort and low memory usage whenever possible. The minimum viable computer to run our localization and SLAM solutions is a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+.

Build

To build LaMa, clone it from GitHub and use CMake to build.

$ git clone https://github.com/iris-ua/iris_lama
$ cd iris_lama
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..

Its only dependency is Eigen3. Note: LaMa does not provide any executable. For an example on how to use it, please take a look at our integration with ROS.

Integration with ROS

The source code contains package.xml so that it can be used as a library from external ros packages. We provide ROS nodes to run the localization and the two SLAM solutions. Please go to iris_lama_ros for more information.

Sparse-Dense Mapping (SDM)

Sparse-Dense Mapping (SDM) is a framework for efficient implementation of 3D volumetric grids. Its divides space into small dense patches addressable by a sparse data-structure. To improve memory usage each individual patch can be compressed during live operations using lossless data compression (currently lz4 and Zstandard) with low overhead. It can be a replacement for OctoMap.

Currently it has the following grid maps implemented: * Distance Map: It provides the distance to the closest occupied cells in the map. We provide the DynamicDistanceMap which is an implementation of the dynamic Euclidean map proposed by: > B. Lau, C. Sprunk, and W. Burgard > Efficient Grid-Based Spatial Representations for Robot Navigation in Dynamic Environments > Robotics and Autonomous Systems, 61 (10), 2013, pp. 1116-1130, Elsevier

  • Occupancy Map: The most common representation of the environment used in robotics. Three (3) variants of the occupancy map are provided: a SimpleOccupancyMap where each cell has a tri-state: free, occupied or unknown: a ProbabilisticOccupancyMap that encodes the occupancy probability of each cell with logods; and a FrequencyOccupancyMap that tracks the number of times a beam hits or traverses (miss) a cell and calculates a hit/miss ratio.

Localization based on Scan Matching

We provide a fast scan matching approach to mobile robot localization supported by a continuous likelihood field. It can be used to provide accurate localization for robots equipped with a laser and a not so good odometry. Nevertheless, a good odometry is always recommended.

Online SLAM

For environments without considerable loops this solution can be accurate and very efficient. It can run in real time even on a low-spec computer (we have it running on a turtlebot with a raspberry pi 3B+). It uses our localization algorithm combined with a dynamic likelihood field to incrementally build an occupancy map.

Multi-threaded Particle Filter SLAM

This Particle Filter SLAM is a RBPF SLAM like GMapping and it is the extension of the Online SLAM solution to multiple particles with multi-thread support. Our solution is capable of parallelizing both the localization and mapping processes. It uses a thread-pool to manage the number of working threads.

Even without multi-threading, our solutions is a lightweight competitor against the heavyweight GMapping.

Graph SLAM

A really fast graph based solution.
