2.1.0

What's Changed

This release moved the input filters execution outside of the main processInput function, supporting the effort to integrate deskewing into norlab-ulaval/norlab_icp_mapper_ros#16.

• Add mapping diagram by @boxanm in #21
• Upgrade Mapper diagrams by @boxanm in #22
• Update package.xml by @simonpierredeschenes in #23
• Refactor Input Filters Execution for Deskewing Integration by @boxanm in #26

New Contributors

• @simonpierredeschenes made their first contribution in #23

2.0.0

What's Changed

• Guard icpMap mutex when doing registration by @boxanm in #6
• A fix to prevent running out of memory and crashing when loading maps over cca 500k points by @kubelvla in #13
• Python bindings by @boxanm in #14
• Updated tutorial for better dynamic points filtering by @nicolaslauzon in #16
• An example executable build_map_from_scans_and_trajectories.cpp that builds a map from a given trajectory (.csv file) and scans. We could use this function later for integration tests.
• A unification of all Mapper configuration parameters and libpointmatcher config files into a single .yaml file. Relevant parts of the file are loaded either by the mapper, or libpointmatcher.
• The introduction of mapper modules offers a configurable way to apply different effects to the map. Unlike the old post-mapping filters (which were disguised libpointmatcher DataPointFilters), these modules take both the map and the scan as inputs. So they can perform, for example, a removal of dynamic points.
• These mapper modules are configured through the same yaml configuration file as the other parameters.
• A documentation hosted on ReadTheDocs.
