仿真实现lio_sam建图和ndt_matching定位

---

一、仿真环境

使用现有开源的仿真环境—从零开始搭建一台ROS开源迷你无人车，作者已经配置好小车模型以及gazebo环境，imu频率已改为200HZ，文中也有详细的说明，这里就不再介绍。

启动仿真

roslaunch steer_mini_gazebo steer_mini_sim_sensors_VLP16_lio_sam.launch 
1

话题如下：

/ackermann_steering_controller/cmd_vel
/ackermann_steering_controller/odom
/clock
/gains/left_rear_joint/parameter_descriptions
/gains/left_rear_joint/parameter_updates
/gains/right_rear_joint/parameter_descriptions
/gains/right_rear_joint/parameter_updates
/gazebo/link_states
/gazebo/model_states
/gazebo/parameter_descriptions
/gazebo/parameter_updates
/gazebo/set_link_state
/gazebo/set_model_state
/imu/data
/joint_states
/rosout
/rosout_agg
/tf
/tf_static
/velodyne_points

控制小车移动，打开一个终端，录制所有话题（也可录制需要的话题），会自动在终端所在的文件夹下根据当前时间产生bag文件。

rosbag record -a

二、lio_sam建图

lio_sam的安装测试可参考Lego-LOAM和LIO_SAM的使用及地图的处理

1.修改配置文件

在LIO-SAM/config下的params.yaml文件中

修改为自己小车的话题

  # Topics
  pointCloudTopic: "/velodyne_points"              
  imuTopic: "/imu/data"                         
  odomTopic: "/odometry/imu"                   
  gpsTopic: "odometry/gpsz"

修改保存路径

  # Export settings
  savePCD: true                              
  savePCDDirectory: "/Downloads/"

修改imu到雷达的坐标变换

  # Extrinsics: T_lb (lidar -> imu)
  extrinsicTrans: [0.0, 0.0, 0.0]
  extrinsicRot: [1, 0, 0,
                  0, 1, 0,
                  0, 0, 1]
  extrinsicRPY: [1, 0, 0,
                  0, 1, 0,
                  0, 0, 1]

其它的保持默认即可。

2.开始建图

	roslaunch lio_sam run.launch 
	rosbag play your.bag

保存的PCD—GlobalMap.pcd

三、ndt_matching定位

1.新建启动文件

使用Autoware.ai中的ndt_matching定位模块。为了适配前方，需要对应仿真的数据进行如下修改

autoware.ai/src/autoware/documentation/autoware_quickstart_examples/config路径：
新建headless_setup_steer_mini.yaml 内容如下：

tf_x: 0
tf_y: 0
tf_z: 0.115
tf_yaw: 0
tf_pitch: 0
tf_roll: 0

localizer: velodyne
use_sim_time: false

.autoware/data/tf 路径：
新建tf_steer_mini.launch

<launch>
<!-- worldからmapへのtf -->
<node pkg="tf2_ros"  type="static_transform_publisher" name="world_to_map" args="0 0 0 0 0 0 /world /map" />
<!-- mapからmobilityへのtf -->
<!-- <node pkg="tf2_ros"  type="static_transform_publisher" name="map_to_mobility" args="0 0 0 0 0 0 /map /mobility" />-->
<node pkg="tf2_ros"  type="static_transform_publisher" name="base_link_to_velodyne" args="0 0 0.115 0 0 0 /base_link /velodyne" />

<launch>
  <rosparam command="load" file="$(find autoware_quickstart_examples)/config/headless_setup_steer_mini.yaml" />

  <include file="$(env HOME)/.autoware/data/tf/tf_steer_mini.launch"/>
  
  <node pkg="map_file" type="points_map_loader" name="points_map_loader" args="noupdate $(env HOME)/.autoware/data/map/pointcloud_map/GlobalMap.pcd"/>

  ros::Subscriber odom_sub = nh.subscribe("/ackermann_steering_controller/odom", _queue_size * 10, odom_callback);

总结

以上实现了仿真场景下使用lio_sam建图以及ndt_matching定位的过程，仅仅作为测试使用，存在仿真场景较小，没有在机器人模型中添加gps数据的问题，整体上达到定位的要求。
