ProAut OctoMap

Introduction

This package was designed to automatically remove outdated voxels from the original octomap.

We described our motivation and concept on our octomap-website - here you will also find two supportive videos. For further explanations, you may want to have a look at this workshop abstract.

Nodes

Our implementation of decay:

rosrun octomap_pa octree_stamped_pa_node
roslaunch octomap_pa octomap_stamped_pa.launch

The native implementation of decay by the original octomap package:

rosrun octomap_pa octree_stamped_native_node
roslaunch octomap_pa octomap_stamped_native.launch

Simple node without decay:

rosrun octomap_pa octree_pa_node
roslaunch octomap_pa octomap_pa.launch

Input and Output Topics

Topic Name Type Description
”~/in_cloud” sensor_msgs/PointCloud2 Input as new pointcloud type.
”~/in_cloud_old” sensor_msgs/PointCloud Input as old pointloud type. Will be converted to new pointcloud type.
”~/in_laser” sensor_msgs/LaserScan Input as single laser scan. Will be converted to new pointcloud type by package “laser_geometry”.
”~/out_octomap” octomap_msgs/Octomap Output of binary octomap - voxels are either free or occupied (smaller in size).
”~/out_octomap_full” octomap_msgs/Octomap Output of octomap (full size).
”~/out_cloud_free” sensor_msgs/PointCloud2 Output of all free voxels as pointcloud.
”~/out_cloud_occupied” sensor_msgs/PointCloud2 Output of all occupied voxels as pointcloud.

All topics can be remapped using parameters (see below).

Services

Service Name Type Description
”~/clear” std_srvs/Empty Deletes internal octomap.
”~/reset” octomap_pa_msgs/Reset Changes the resolution and the frame after clearing the internal octomap.
”~/getsize” octomap_pa_msgs/GetSize Returning number of nodes, total size in bytes and number of inserted measurments.
”~/save” octomap_pa_msgs/FileName Storing the current octomap as file - timestamps are not saved.
”~/load” octomap_pa_msgs/FileName Loading a octomap from file - timestamps are ignored.

Parameters

degrading of voxels

Parameter Name | Type | Description —————————–|———————-|————————————- “~/degrading_time” | double | Duration how long the outdated nodes will be kept. “~/auto_degrading” | bool | Turns on automatic degrading. “~/auto_degrading_intervall” | double | Intervall for automatic degrading.

pointcloud insertion

Parameter Name | Type | Description —————————–|———————-|————————————- “~/map_prob_hit” | double | Probability that a positive measurement relates to a occupied voxel. “~/map_prob_miss” | double | Probability that a negative measurement relates to a occupied voxel. “~/pcd_voxel_active” | bool | Use voxel-filter for pointcloud insertion. “~/pcd_voxel_explicit” | bool | Use pcl-filter instead of octomap-filter. “~/pcd_voxel_explicit_relative_resolution” | double | Relative resolution of pcl-filter.

octomap in general

Parameter Name | Type | Description —————————–|———————-|————————————- “~/output_frame” | string | Coordinate system for insertion and output. “~/map_resolution” | double | Side length of one voxel (in meters). “~/map_prob_threshold” | double | Threshold for binary evaluation of single voxels. “~/map_clamp_min” | double | Lower clamping value of occupancy probability. “~/map_clamp_max” | double | Upper clamping value of occupancy probability.

CHANGELOG

Changelog for package octomap_pa

Forthcoming

  • bugfixed missing instantiation of service callback
  • minor updates to readme
