• Contributors: Calder Phillips-Grafflin

2.0.6 (2023-03-18)

• Added declaration of parameters
• Reduce computation cost of ScanShadowsFilter

• Contributors: Atsushi Watanabe, Jon Binney, Jonathan Binney, Riccardo Tornese, brandonbeggs

2.0.5 (2022-05-26)

• Remove remaining uses of boost. All of that functionality is now available in std:: . Also, this should fix the build on RHEL.
• Contributors: Chris Lalancette

2.0.4 (2022-04-08)

• Add a sensor_msgs dependency to test_scan_filter_chain
• adding support for invert-parameter to select if points within or outside of box are kept
• Contributors: Chris Lalancette, Jonathan Binney, Nikolas Engelhard

2.0.3 (2021-10-19)

• Contributors: Jon Binney

2.0.1 (2021-10-18)

• Add build depend on ament_cmake_auto
• Contributors: Jon Binney

• Enable CI for foxy, galactic and rolling distros
• Remove unneeded find_package of pcl_conversions
• Port speckle filter to ros2

• ROS2 migration (foxy)
• Make laser_filters build for ros2 (on windows 10)
• Updated deprecated pluginlib macros to avoid warning messages
• Contributors: Brian Fjeldstad, Jon Binney, Jonathan Binney, Nick Lamprianidis, Nicolas Limpert, Patrick Lascombe, Rein Appeldoorn, hang

1.8.5 (2017-09-06)

• rename parameter to be more descriptive
• change range_filter to infinity for it to work with obstacle_layer if you use the ´inf_is_valid´ parameter raytracing is still possible for scans out of the window. Usefull for laserscanners that may deliver ranges > range_max ... or
• Fix a small typo in one of the test cases.
• Add LaserScanMaskFilter. This commit adds LaserScanMaskFilter that removes points on directions defined in a mask, defined as a parameter, from a laser scan. It can be used to remove unreliable points caused by hardware related problems for example scratches on an optical window of the sensor.
• Contributors: Atsushi Watanabe, Hunter L. Allen, Jannik Abbenseth, Jonathan Binney
