ndt_omp

This package provides an OpenMP-boosted Normal Distributions Transform (and GICP) algorithm derived from pcl. The NDT algorithm is modified to be SSE-friendly and multi-threaded. It can run up to 10 times faster than its original version in pcl.

multigrid ndt_omp

TIER IV has developed an extended version of ndt_omp for dynamic map loading functionality. The difference from the ndt_omp is as follows:

  • Instead of setInputTarget interface, multigrid_ndt_omp provides addTarget and removeTarget for more flexible target inputs.
  • Only RadiusSearch is supported as a search method (getNeighborhoodAtPointX methods are disabled).

Several methods for neighbor voxel search are implemented. If you select pclomp::KDTREE, results will be completely same as the original pcl::NDT. We recommend to use pclomp::DIRECT7 which is faster and stable. If you need extremely fast registration, choose pclomp::DIRECT1, but it might be a bit unstable.

Regression Test

Preparation

You can use script/convert_rosbag_to_test_data.py to convert a rosbag to regression test data.

The regression test data should be placed in ./regression_test_data/input directory.

A sample data is here.

The sample data is recorded by AWSIM, so the corresponding map is nishishinjuku_autoware_map.

The directory structure should be like this:

./regression_test_data/
└── input
    ├── kinematic_state.csv
    ├── pointcloud_map.pcd  # means map.pcd
    └── sensor_pcd
        ├── pointcloud_00000000.pcd
        ├── pointcloud_00000001.pcd
        ├── pointcloud_00000002.pcd
        ├── ...
        ├── pointcloud_00000817.pcd
        ├── pointcloud_00000818.pcd
        └── pointcloud_00000819.pcd

build

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j

Run

./regression_test ../regression_test_data/input ../regression_test_data/output

Check

python3 script/compare_regression_test_result.py ../regression_test_data/output ../regression_test_data/reference_output
