Note: this node will output an XYZ PointCloud with no RGB information. If you need to filter an XYZRGB PointCloud, look at robot_self_filter_color from the pr2_object_manipulation stack.

Robot Self Filtering

The robot_self_filter package is a filter to remove or mark the points corresponding to robot links in sensor data. The filter is essentially a node wrapper around the self_see_filter.

API Stability

  • The ROS API is stable.
  • The C++ API is unstable.

Published Topics

cloud_out (sensor_msgs/PointCloud2)
  • A self filtered or annotated point cloud

Subscribed Topics

cloud_in (sensor_msgs/PointCloud2)
  • A point cloud to self filter

Parameters

~<name>/sensor_frame (string, default: "")

  • The sensor frame from which to compute shadow points for filtering
~<name>/subsample_value (double, default: .01)
  • The resolution in cm to use for voxelized subsampling prior to self filtering. For dense data the self filter procedure will be too expensive on dense point cloud data. Set to 0.0 to disable.
