Baseline: F2F or M2F

  1. download data. For demo results you can directly download the old session results.

You can also use the single session mode to generate the map data of the old session, just set parameters useMultiMode as false. Check the map folder, three files must exists, key_point_frame, pose_graph.g2o and optimized_poses_tum.txt.

  1. set important parameters of file path: save_directory, map_directory,bag_path.

    <param name="save_directory" type="string" value="/home/xchu/data/pose_slam_prior_result/"/>
<param name="map_directory" type="string" value="/home/xchu/data/prior_map/PK01/"/>

<!--set your data bag path-->
<arg name="bag_path" default="/media/xchu/新加卷/HKUSTGZ-DATASET/2023-10-28-19-09-04-Parkinglot-RedBird02/Parkinglot-RedBird-2023-10-28-19-09-04.bag"/>

  2. run launch file, blue trajectoty for the old session and red for the new session.

roslaunch ms_mapping ms.launch

only save data for the new session part, finally use the python scripts to get the merged map for analysis.

rosservice call /save_map

8 Sessions Demo Results

Lets take CP5 as the old session, and use CP2 to do incremental mapping base on it.

  • Build the base map using single-session uncertainty SLAM. It's important to know the cov of each edge in pose graph. Keyframes number must be the same with the poses number.

  • Set the base map as prior map folder, and preparing for the parameters of Ms-Mapping (initial pose). You can use Cloudcompare to align the first point cloud (at the map folder) with the base map to get the initial pose. (This problem can be solved when you integrate a place recognition algorithm into our system).

  • Run the Ms-Mapping and save the merged data. The keyframe folder only save the keyframes of the new session data.

  • Use the python scripts to get and visualize all the session trajectory and session map, together with the merged map.

  • set the new base map CP5-CP2 for the next mapping round. You need to add the keyframes of CP5 into this folder. There must be a map.pcd file in the map folder. Check the keyframes number with the pose files.

Example

We provide example merged data for 8 sessions here, The session order is: CP5-CP2-CS1-CC1-PK1-IA3-IA4-NG. One must clean the separate map to remove the point cloud noise caused by the glass, since this study do not focus on this. The cleaned map also can be download here. Note that these example data may be updated since it is not the best results.
