amcl3d
Overview
This is a package is a "Adaptive Monte-Carlo Localization in 3D".
It is a particle filter that estimates the localization of a robot moving in a 3D environment without using GPS.
It takes information from an odometry source, point-clouds from an onboard sensor (e.g. laser) and distance measurements from radio-range sensors.

Installation
Building from Source
Building
To build from source, clone the latest version from this repository into your catkin workspace and compile the package using
cd catkin_workspace/src
git clone https://github.com/fada-catec/amcl3d.git
cd ../
catkin build
Launch files
-
amcl3d.launch: it contains the start of amcl3d node with a standard configuration of parameters.
roslaunch amcl3d amcl3d.launch
-
amcl3d_rosin.launch: it contains the initial pose, particle number, 'alpha' parameter, 'take_off_height' parameter and the correctly map to run the algorithm with the correcly data of the rosbag.
roslaunch amcl3d amcl3d_rosin.launch
Gmoke Tests
This branch contains differents tests to evaluate the correct behaviour of the algorithm. To run these tests it is necessary to have the rosbag of the 'Version 1.1.0' release.
To compile:
catkin_make tests
To run:
rosrun amcl3d amcl3d_tests
Doxygen
The code has been commentes to offert the posibility to generate a Doxygen documentation. To generate it:
rosdoc_lite /path/to/workspace/src/amcl3d/amcl3d
To install the rosdoc_lite package:
apt-get install ros-kinetic-rosdoc_lite
