autoware_elevation_map_loader

Purpose

This package provides elevation map for autoware_compare_map_segmentation.

Inner-workings / Algorithms

Generate elevation_map from subscribed pointcloud_map and vector_map and publish it. Save the generated elevation_map locally and load it from next time.

The elevation value of each cell is the average value of z of the points of the lowest cluster.
Cells with No elevation value can be inpainted using the values of neighboring cells.

Inputs / Outputs

Input

Name Type Description
input/pointcloud_map sensor_msgs::msg::PointCloud2 The point cloud map
input/vector_map autoware_map_msgs::msg::LaneletMapBin (Optional) The binary data of lanelet2 map
input/pointcloud_map_metadata autoware_map_msgs::msg::PointCloudMapMetaData (Optional) The metadata of point cloud map

Output

Name Type Description
output/elevation_map grid_map_msgs::msg::GridMap The elevation map
output/elevation_map_cloud sensor_msgs::msg::PointCloud2 (Optional) The point cloud generated from the value of elevation map

Service

Name Type Description
service/get_selected_pcd_map autoware_map_msgs::srv::GetSelectedPointCloudMap (Optional) service to request point cloud map. If pointcloud_map_loader uses selected pointcloud map loading via ROS 2 service, use this.

Parameters

Node parameters

Name Type Description Default value
map_layer_name std::string elevation_map layer name elevation
param_file_path std::string GridMap parameters config path_default
elevation_map_directory std::string elevation_map file (bag2) path_default
map_frame std::string map_frame when loading elevation_map file map
use_inpaint bool Whether to inpaint empty cells true
inpaint_radius float Radius of a circular neighborhood of each point inpainted that is considered by the algorithm [m] 0.3
use_elevation_map_cloud_publisher bool Whether to publish output/elevation_map_cloud false
use_lane_filter bool Whether to filter elevation_map with vector_map false
lane_margin float Margin distance from the lane polygon of the area to be included in the inpainting mask [m]. Used only when use_lane_filter=True. 0.0
use_sequential_load bool Whether to get point cloud map by service false
sequential_map_load_num int The number of point cloud maps to load at once (only used when use_sequential_load is set true). This should not be larger than number of all point cloud map cells. 1

GridMap parameters

The parameters are described on config/elevation_map_parameters.yaml.

General parameters

Name Type Description Default value

Resulting grid map parameters.

Name Type Description Default value
pcl_grid_map_extraction/grid_map/min_num_points_per_cell int Minimum number of points in the point cloud that have to fall within any of the grid map cells. Otherwise the cell elevation will be set to NaN. 3
pcl_grid_map_extraction/grid_map/resolution float Resolution of the grid map. Width and length are computed automatically. 0.3
pcl_grid_map_extraction/grid_map/height_type int The parameter that determine the elevation of a cell 0: Smallest value among the average values of each cluster, 1: Mean value of the cluster with the most points 1
pcl_grid_map_extraction/grid_map/height_thresh float Height range from the smallest cluster (Only for height_type 1) 1.0

Point Cloud Pre-processing Parameters

pcl_grid_map_extraction/cloud_transform/rotation float Rotation (intrinsic rotation, convention X-Y’-Z’’) that is applied to the input point cloud before computing elevation. 0.0

Cluster extraction parameters

Cluster extraction is based on pcl algorithms. See https://pointclouds.org/documentation/tutorials/cluster_extraction.html for more details.
