Port of the ROS1 VDB Mapping for ROS2.0

The VDB Mapping ROS Package is a ROS wrapper around VDB Mapping

This library requires OpenVDB as it is build around it. This library was initially developed using Version 6.2

Either use the apt package which will be automatically installed via rosdep or compile the package from source using the provided build instructions

# source global ros
source /opt/ros/<your_ros_version>/setup.bash

# create a colcon workspace
mkdir -p ~/colcon_ws/src && cd colcon_ws

# clone packages
git clone https://github.com/omerfkaya/vdb_mapping.git
git clone https://github.com/omerfkaya/vdb_mapping_msgs.git
git clone https://github.com/omerfkaya/vdb_mapping_ros2.git

# install dependencies
sudo apt update
rosdep update
rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src -y

# build the workspace.  
colcon build --symlink-install

# source the workspace
source install/setup.bash

~/vdb_map_visualization (type: visualization_msgs/Marker)

Publishes the resulting map as voxel marker

~/vdb_map_pointcloud (type: sensor_msgs/PointCloud2)

Publishes the resulting map as pointcloud

~/Parameter:aligned_points (type: sensor_msgs/PointCloud2)

Subscriber for pointclouds which are already aligned to a specific frame

~/Parameter:raw_points (type: sensor_msgs/PointCloud2)

Subscriber for pointclouds in sensor coordinates

All parameters can be passed as commandline arguments to the launch file.
