I am having trouble running it on my bag file. #393

isaogotu · 2022-08-04T17:36:54Z

Nice to meet you!
I am a researcher of mobile robots.

I am very much helped by at-wat's package. Thank you very much.

I would like to run mcl_3dl with a bag file observed with Velodyne 32 channel and a point cloud map constructed from the bag file.
However, when I run it, the self-position estimation does not start. Any advice would be appreciated.

This is my first time asking this question, so if I am being rude, please let me know.

Here are the results of the run.

isao@isaoPC:~/catkin_at-wat$ roslaunch mcl_3dl test.launch use_neonavigation:=true without_odom:=true use_pointcloud_map:=true map_pcd:=${HOME}/Downloads/廊下2.pcd use_cad_map:=false use_bag_file:=true bag_file:=${HOME}/Downloads/廊下2.bag

Looks like required topics aren't connected.
I guess following remapping is required:

/RosAria/pose -> /odom
/velodyne_points -> /cloud

without_odom:=true is specified but IMU data is not provided
This node requires at least one of odometry or IMU. (basically recommended to have both)
See https://github.com/at-wat/mcl_3dl/blob/master/doc/ExperimentalDemos.md
Default parameters aren't good for velodyne
Horizontal scan of Velodyne is split into several pointcloud messages.
In this case, the ~/accum_cloud parameter should be increased to the number of the pointcloud messages to reconstruct a full horizontal scan.

isaogotu · 2022-08-05T06:34:24Z

Thank you for your kind reply.

I have changed the test.launchu file as advised in 1. as follows.
Before：
<remap from="horizontal_laser_3d" to="cloud"/>
After：
<remap from="/velodyne_points" to="cloud"/>
However, I don't know which part of /odom I should change. I am sorry to trouble you, but could you please let me know?

I changed the execution command as advised in 2. as follows.
Before：
roslaunch mcl_3dl test.launch use_neonavigation:=true without_odom=true use_pointcloud_map:=true map_pcd:=${HOME}/Downloads/廊下2.pcd use_cad_map:=false use_bag_file:=true bag_file:=${HOME}/Downloads/廊下2.bag
After：
roslaunch mcl_3dl test.launch use_neonavigation:=true without_imu:=true use_pointcloud_map:=true map_pcd:=${HOME}/Downloads/廊下2.pcd use_cad_map:=false use_bag_file:=true bag_file:=${HOME}/Downloads/廊下2.bag

I am not sure where to adjust the parameters, although I am not competent enough regarding the part of 3. to change the parameters.
I am sorry, but could you please tell me where and how to change the parameters? Thank you in advance.

isaogotu · 2022-08-27T12:31:30Z

It has been a while. Thank you for your help.

Based on your advice in 1., I rewrote the "test.launch" file as follows

<remap from="/velodyne_points" to="cloud"/>
<remap from="/RosAria/pose" to="/odom"/>

After the change, I tried to run the following command, but the error occurred again.
roslaunch mcl_3dl test.launch use_neonavigation:=true without_imu:=true use_pointcloud_map:=true map_pcd:=${HOME}/Downloads/廊下2.pcd use_cad_map:=false use_bag_file:=true bag_file:=${HOME}/Downloads/廊下2.bag

The result is as follows.

Can you please give me some advice on how to solve these problems?
Thank you in advance for your time.
