SphericalPointCloudSimulator

Simulate a pointcloud which is acquired by spindle laser. Sensor model is spherical laser.

Subscribing Topics

• ~input (sensor_msgs/PointCloud2)

  This topic is only used to synchronize timestamp of ~output pointcloud to certain pointcloud. If no ~frame_id is specified, frame_id of ~input is copied to ~output.

Publishing Topics

• ~output (sensor_msgs/PointCloud2)

  Simulated pointcloud.

Parameters

• ~frame_id (String, default: None)

  frame_id of output pointcloud. If not specified, frame_id of ~input is copied.

• ~r (Double, default: 3.0)

  Radius of spherical model.

• ~min_phi (Double, default: 0.0)

  Minimum angle of scanning plane.

• ~max_phi (Double, default: 2pi)

  Maximum angle of scanning plane.

• ~scan_range (Double, default: 4.7)

  Scan range of laser. The default value is same to hokuyo’s parameter.

• ~scan_num (Integer, default: 1081)

  The number of points in one scan of laser. The default value is same to hokuyo’s parameter.

• ~fps (Double, default: 40)

  Fps of laser sensor. The default value is same to hokuyo’s parameter.
