Global Functions

bool mrpt::ros1bridge::fromROS(const nav_msgs::OccupancyGrid& src, mrpt::maps::COccupancyGridMap2D& des)

converts ros msg to mrpt object

Parameters:

src
des

Returns:

true on sucessful conversion, false on any error.

bool mrpt::ros1bridge::toROS(
    const mrpt::maps::COccupancyGridMap2D& src,
    nav_msgs::OccupancyGrid& msg,
    const std_msgs::Header& header
    )

converts mrpt object to ros msg and updates the msg header

Parameters:

src
header

Returns:

true on sucessful conversion, false on any error.

bool mrpt::ros1bridge::toROS(const mrpt::maps::COccupancyGridMap2D& src, nav_msgs::OccupancyGrid& msg)

converts mrpt object to ros msg

Returns:

true on sucessful conversion, false on any error.

bool mrpt::ros1bridge::fromROS(const sensor_msgs::PointCloud& msg, mrpt::maps::CSimplePointsMap& obj)

Convert sensor_msgs/PointCloud -> mrpt::maps::CSimplePointsMap CSimplePointsMap only contains (x,y,z) data, so sensor_msgs::PointCloud::channels are ignored.

Returns:

true on sucessful conversion, false on any error.

bool mrpt::ros1bridge::toROS(
    const mrpt::maps::CSimplePointsMap& obj,
    const std_msgs::Header& msg_header,
    sensor_msgs::PointCloud& msg
    )

Convert mrpt::maps::CSimplePointsMap -> sensor_msgs/PointCloud The user must supply the “msg_header” field to be copied into the output message object, since that part does not appear in MRPT classes.

Since CSimplePointsMap only contains (x,y,z) data, sensor_msgs::PointCloud::channels will be empty.

Returns:

true on sucessful conversion, false on any error.

fromROS

bool mrpt::ros1bridge::fromROS(const sensor_msgs::PointCloud2& msg, mrpt::maps::CSimplePointsMap& obj)

Convert sensor_msgs/PointCloud2 -> mrpt::slam::CSimplePointsMap Only (x,y,z) data is converted.

Convert sensor_msgs/PointCloud2 -> mrpt::slam::CSimplePointsMap.

To use the intensity channel, see the alternative signature for CPointsMapXYZI. Requires point cloud fields: x,y,z.

Returns:

true on sucessful conversion, false on any error.

true on sucessful conversion, false on any error.

    const mrpt::poses::CPose3D& sensorPoseOnRobot,
    unsigned int num_azimuth_divisions = 360
    )

Convert sensor_msgs/PointCloud2 -> mrpt::obs::CObservationRotatingScan.

    const std_msgs::Header& msg_header,
    sensor_msgs::PointCloud2& msg
    )

Convert mrpt::slam::CSimplePointsMap -> sensor_msgs/PointCloud2 The user must supply the “msg_header” field to be copied into the output message object, since that part does not appear in MRPT classes.

Generated sensor_msgs::PointCloud2::channels: x, y, z.

Returns:

true on sucessful conversion, false on any error.

    )

Convert mrpt::slam::CPointsMapXYZI -> sensor_msgs/PointCloud2 The user must supply the “msg_header” field to be copied into the output message object, since that part does not appear in MRPT classes.

Generated sensor_msgs::PointCloud2::channels: x, y, z, intensity

    )

Convert mrpt::obs::CObservationGPS -> sensor_msgs/NavSatFix The user must supply the “msg_header” field to be copied into the output message object, since that part does not appear in MRPT classes.

Since COnservationGPS does not contain “position_covariance” and “position_covariance_type” sensor_msgs::NavSatFix::position_covariance_type and sensor_msgs::NavSatFix::position_covariance will be empty.
