ROS2极简总结-坐标变换-TF

---

参考：

• TF2 - TRANSFORMS IN ROS2

• ROS机器人TF基础（坐标相关概念和实践）

TF2 - 概述

• TF2 是 TF (TransForm) 库的第二代。 事实上，ROS1 中的 TF 目前在后台调用 TF2。 ROS2 仅使用 TF2。
• TF2 跟踪树结构中的所有坐标系。
• 与 ROS2 中的大多数功能一样，TF2 API 仍在开发中，但基本功能已经可用。
• TF2 vs TF - 更快、更高效、新功能和更容易扩展。

*此处重点，ROS1成熟，而ROS2还是深度开发中的实验版，LTS长期支持版目前也没有5年，而是3年，此版本不适合初学者学习！

rviz2中可视化

rqt_tf_tree

设计

TF2 核心独立于 ROS & BufferCore 类提供 API

---

时间同步

• 用户可以查询任意给定时间点树中任意 2 帧之间的转换 - 即使在过去！
  • 对于异步/分布式系统必不可少

---

广播

提供坐标之间的转换（动态/静态）。

• 例如：robot_state_publisher 提供基于 URDF 的 TF 数据
• 例如：用户编写的具有专用广播器的节点

---

监听

可以访问变换树并查找 2 帧之间的特定变换（阻塞/非阻塞）。

buffer = tf2_ros.Buffer()
transform = buffer.lookup_transform("base_link","camera_link", rclpy.time.Time()) # Blocking
transform = await buffer.lookup_transform_async("base_link","camera_link",rclpy.time.Time())  #Non-Blocking

函数原型：lookup_transform(target_frame,source_frame,time)

使用 rclpy.time.Time() 提供最新的可用转换。
