Add some comments to ScanShadowDetector
set values for variables that could be used uninitialized
Reduce computation cost of ScanShadowsFilter ScanShadowsFilter required a lot of CPU power mainly due to atan2. This commit reduces computation cost of the filter. * Remove atan2 and directly compare tangent values * Add a test to check geometric calculation
Apply ROS recommended indent style to ScanShadowsFilter

Contributors: Jonathan Binney, Nick Lamprianidis

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.

1.6.12 (2013-12-24)

"1.6.12"
Merge pull request #13 from v4hn/less_startup_noise footprint_filter: print less tf warnings
footprint_filter: print less tf warnings On startup this filter produces about two pages of console output (ROS_ERRORs) on ExtrapolationExceptions because the listener is not setup yet. This commit reduces this to throttled info messages until the transform works for the first time.
