  • Contributors: Jose Luis Blanco-Claraco

0.4.0 (2024-12-18)

  • demo rviz file: fix lidar topic name

  • Include /tf remaps too in ros2 launch

  • mola launch for ROS 2: Add placeholder for ros args parsing

  • mola launch for ROS 2: add env variables to quickly control verbosity of each module. Env. vars. are: MOLA_VERBOSITY_MOLA_VIZ, MOLA_VERBOSITY_MOLA_LO,MOLA_VERBOSITY_BRIDGE_ROS2 (Default: INFO)

  • Support for ROS2 namespaces in launch file

  • docs; and fix launch var typo

  • ROS 2 launch: add more ros args

  • move MOLA-LO ROS2 docs to the main MOLA repo

  • Expose one more runtime param: generate_simplemap

  • clarify docs on sensor input topic names

  • runtime parameters: update in GUI too

  • publish ICP quality as part of localization updates

  • mola module name changed: ‘icp_odom’ -> ‘lidar_odom’

  • Do not publish localization if ICP is not good

  • Expose runtime parameters using MOLA v1.4.0 configurable parameters: active, mapping_enabled

  • docs clarifications

  • map_load service: allow not having a .simplemap file and don’t report it as an error

  • FIX: motion model handling during re-localization

  • Implement map_save

  • reset adaptive sigma upon relocalization

  • Implement map_load; Implement relocalize around pose

  • Forward IMU readings to the navstate fusion module

  • CI and readme: remove ROS2 iron

  • Merge branch ‘wip/map_load_save’ into develop

  • docs: add ref to yaml extensions

  • Add docs on 3D-NDT pipeline and demo usage with Mulran

  • parameterize maximum_sigma

  • CLI: add flag to retrieve all twists in a file; avoid use of “static” variables

  • LO: Add a getter for the latest pose and twist

  • doc: explain “no tf” error message

  • tune 3D-NDT defaults

  • Kitti and Mulran evaluation scripts: extend so they can be run with other pipelines

  • ros2 launch: Add ‘use_rviz’ argument

  • NDT pipeline: expose max sigma as parameter too

  • Avoid anoying warning message when not really needed

  • Extend options for GNSS initialization

  • Add docs on mola-lo-gui-rawlog

  • Default pipeline: reduce density of keyframes in simplemap

  • Docs: mola_lo_apps.rst fix PIPELINE_YAML var name

  • Update mola_lo_pipelines.rst: fix format

  • recover passing var args to mola-lo-gui-rosbag2 script

  • UI: show instantaneous max. sensor range too

  • FIX: formula for the estimated max. sensor range fixed for asymmetric cases

  • add new visualization param ground_grid_spacing

  • viz: grow ground grid as the local map grows

  • FIX: disabling visualization of raw observations left last raw observation rendered

  • fix: separate GPS topic and sensorLabel variables

  • Consistent GPS topic name

  • Add another env variable: MOLA_LOCAL_VOXELMAP_RESOLUTION

  • Expose new param for local map max size

  • enable the relocalize API

  • Expose fixed sensor pose coords as optional env variables
