ros2_object_map

1 Introduction

ros2_object_map is ROS2 package which designes to mark tag of objects on map when SLAM. It uses ros2_object_analytics for object detection.

2 Prerequisite

• ros2_object_analytics installed

3 Build Dependencies

• object_analytics_msgs
• object_msgs

4 Building

cd ~/ros2_ws/src
git clone https://github.intel.com/otc-rse/ros2_object_map.git
cd ..
ament build --only-packages object_map object_map_msgs
source install/local_setup.bash

5 Running the demo

Step1: Launch Realsense Camera

[terminal 1] 
source ~/ros2_ws/install/local_setup.bash
realsense_ros2_camera

Step2: Launch object_analytics

[terminal 2]
source ~/ros2_ws/install/local_setup.bash
launch `ros2 pkg prefix object_analytics_launch`/share/object_analytics_launch/launch/analytics_movidius_ncs.py

Step3: Launch ros2_object_map

[terminal 3]
source source ~/ros2_ws/install/local_setup.bash
ros2 run object_map object_map_node

6 View in ROS Rviz

Step4: Launch ROS1 roscore

[terminal 4]
source /opt/ros/kinetic/setup.bash
roscore

Step5: Launch ROS1 bridge

[terminal 5]
source /opt/ros/kinetic/setup.bash
source ros2_ws/install/local_setup.bash
ros2 run ros1_bridge dynamic_bridge

Step6: Launch ROS1 Rviz

[terminal 6]
source /opt/ros/kinetic/setup.bash
roslaunch turtlebot_rviz_launchers view_robot.launch

within rviz gui, click "Add", and select "MarkerArray", then input "/object_map/Markers" into "Marker Topic"

6 Interface

6.1 Topic

• /object_map/Markers : Publish MarkerArray on RVIZ
• /object_map/map_save : Subscribe map_save topic to save object maps
• /movidius_ncs_stream/detected_objects: Subscribe ObjectsInBoxes from object_analytics
• /object_analytics/tracking: Subscribe TrackedObjects from object_analytics
• /object_analytics/localization: Subscribe ObjectsInBoxes3D from object_analytics

6.2 Save object map

ros2 topic pub --once /object_map/map_save std_msgs/Int32 -1

7 Known Issues

1 Map tag cannot be correctly displayed in Rviz while robot is moving

reason: tf2 python api is not supported in ROS2 currrently

next step: will implement it while tf2-python api is ready in ROS2

2 Configure File is not supported

reason: yaml configure file and dynamic configure file are not supported in ROS2 currently

next step: will implement it while it is ready in next release of ROS2
