It's an overall updated version of R-GPF of ERASOR [Code] [Paper].
-
pub\_for\_legoloam
node for the pointcloud in kitti bagfile is added.ground_estimate.msg
is added
-
Bug in xy2theta function is fixed.
-
How to run
roslaunch patchwork pub_for_legoloam.launch
rosbag play {YOUR_FILE_PATH}/KITTI_BAG/kitti_sequence_00.bag --clock /kitti/velo/pointcloud:=/velodyne_points
- This README will be updated soon!

Single hpp file (

Robust ground consistency
As shown in the demo videos and below figure, our method shows the most promising robust performance compared with other state-of-the-art methods, especially, our method focuses on the little perturbation of precision/recall as shown in this figure.
Please kindly note that the concept of traversable area and ground is quite different! Please refer to our paper.
The code is tested successfully at
- Linux 18.04 LTS
- ROS Melodic
-
- Install ROS on a machine.
-
- Thereafter, jsk-visualization is required to visualize Ground Likelihood Estimation status.
sudo apt-get install ros-melodic-jsk-recognition
sudo apt-get install ros-melodic-jsk-common-msgs
sudo apt-get install ros-melodic-jsk-rviz-plugins
-
- Compile compile this package. We use catkin tools,
mkdir -p ~/catkin_ws/src
cd ~/catkin_ws/src
git clone https://github.com/LimHyungTae/patchwork.git
cd .. && catkin build patchwork
We provide three examples
- Offline KITTI dataset
- Online (ROS Callback) KITTI dataset
- Own dataset using pcd files
-
Download SemanticKITTI Odometry dataset (We also need labels since we also open the evaluation code! :)
-
Set the
data_path
inlaunch/offline_kitti.launch
for your machine.
The data_path
consists of velodyne
folder and labels
folder as follows:
data_path (e.g. 00, 01, ..., or 10)
_____velodyne
|___000000.bin
|___000001.bin
|___000002.bin
|...
_____labels
|___000000.label
|___000001.label
|___000002.label
|...
_____...
- Run launch file
roslaunch patchwork offline_kitti.launch
You can directly feel the speed of Patchwork! 😉
We also provide rosbag example. If you run our patchwork via rosbag, please refer to this example.
- Download readymade rosbag
wget https://urserver.kaist.ac.kr/publicdata/patchwork/kitti_00_xyzilid.bag
- After building this package, run the roslaunch as follows:
roslaunch patchwork rosbag_kitti.launch
- Then play the rosbag file in another command
rosbag play kitti_00_xyzilid.bag
Please refer to /nodes/offilne_own_data.cpp
.
(Note that in your own data format, there may not exist ground truth labels!)
Be sure to set right params. Otherwise, your results may be wrong as follows:

For better understanding of the parameters of Patchwork, please read our wiki, 4. IMPORTANT: Setting Parameters of Patchwork in Your Own Env..
-
Utilize
/nodes/offilne_own_data.cpp
-
Please check the output by following command and corresponding files:
roslaunch patchwork offline_ouster128.launch
-
Utilize
rosbag_kitti.launch
. -
To do so, remap the topic of subscriber, e.g. add remap line as follows:
<remap from="/node" to="$YOUR_LIDAR_TOPIC_NAME$"/>
- In addition, minor modification of
ros_kitti.cpp
is necessary by refering tooffline_own_data.cpp
.
