Turtlebot学习指导第四篇＿使用robot_pose_ekf包,EKF(扩展卡尔曼滤波器)对机器人位置进行校正

我们使用 robot_pose_ekf 包对通过结合'odom'和'gyro data'信息对机器人位置进行校正.

原文地址

1,配置 这个包里有个默认的配置文件可以修改,大致如下

freq:滤波的频率,不会改变准确度

sensor_timeout:传感器停止向滤波器发送信息之后,等待多久接收下一个传感器的信息

odom_used, imu_used, vo_used: 确认是否输入

<span style="font-size:18px;"><launch>
  <node pkg="robot_pose_ekf" type="robot_pose_ekf" name="robot_pose_ekf">
    <param name="output_frame" value="odom"/>
    <param name="freq" value="30.0"/>
    <param name="sensor_timeout" value="1.0"/>
    <param name="odom_used" value="true"/>
    <param name="imu_used" value="true"/>
    <param name="vo_used" value="true"/>
    <param name="debug" value="false"/>
    <param name="self_diagnose" value="false"/>
  </node>
 </launch></span>

2,节点

2.1 robot_pose_ekf应该订阅的话题

odom (nav_msgs/Odometry)

  2D pose (used by wheel odometry):2DPose包含一机器人的位置以及转向信息,2D其实也代表了3D位置信息,只不过Z方向,roll和pitch方向被忽略

imu_data (sensor_msgs/Imu)

  3D orientation (used by the IMU):3D旋转信息包含了roll,pitch,yaw方向的信息

vo (nav_msgs/Odometry)

  3D pose (used by Visual Odometry):3D位置信息全方位表明了机器人的位置信息和旋转信息,比如GPS信息,轮子Odom只能提供2D位置信息.

一般的位置估计只需要前两个信息.

2.2robot_pose_ekf发布的话题

robot_pose_ekf/odom_combined (geometry_msgs/PoseWithCovarianceStamped)

 发布出估计的3D位置信息

2.3提供的TF变换

odom_combined → base_footprint

示例演示

在ros by exampe一书中  7.8节 Out and Back Using Odometry中

$ roslaunch rbx1_bringup odom_ekf.launch

这个launch就是调用了robot_pose_ekf对机器人的位置进行估计,打开launch文件

<launch>
  <node pkg="rbx1_bringup" type="odom_ekf.py" name="odom_ekf" output="screen">
    <remap from="input" to="/odom_combined"/>
    <remap from="output" to="/odom_ekf"/>
  </node>
</launch>

接着打开odom_ekf.py

#!/usr/bin/env python

""" odom_ekf.py - Version 1.1 2013-12-20

    Republish the /robot_pose_ekf/odom_combined topic which is of type 
    geometry_msgs/PoseWithCovarianceStamped as an equivalent message of
    type nav_msgs/Odometry so we can view it in RViz.

这个节点就订阅/odom_combined下的位置估计信息然后发布的

robot_pose_ekf包的启动同样在
