Context

  • For the CoPeD dataset, there is a need to get reliable ground truth in order to improve annotations and establish a more robust benchmark for evaluating algorithms

TASK

  • I made use of LOCUS to get local lidar odometry and then fed those estimates into LAMP that consists of a base station and created a global map.

  • The steps:
  • Configure the rosbags to work with LOCUS system, by remapping the LiDAR, odometry and IMU topics to work with the wanda robot topics

  1. After getting the lidar odometry result, fed this into the LAMP system and received the global map.
