ros-planning/map_store

Storage manager for OccupancyGrid maps. Supports naming the most recent map, getting a list of map names, and publishing a specific map.

map_store's Issues

Allow configuring automatic saving rate on map_server

That is, do not save on any map callback. When making a map with gmapping it saves a new make every 5 s (default publish rate on gmapping), what crowds the database innecessarily. Worse is that map chooser map selection menu gets crowded with half-done useless maps. I propose two possible changes:

• Add a parameter with maximum saving rate, what is a trivial change.
• Overwrite temporal map during current session, what requires a bit more work but is cleaner and more elegant, I think.

indigo release

Will anybody do this? :) Or need a help to release?

map_store is missing install rules

Hence, there are no executables in the deb.

REQUIRED process [add_map-5] has died!

Hi Guys, I got a problem when I try to launch the map_store launch file under groovy.
$roslaunch map_store add_map.launch map_file:=map.yaml map_name:=L9

REQUIRED process [add_map-5] has died!
process has finished cleanly

Any advise? Thanks.

My add_map.launch file:

arg name="map_file" / arg name="map_name" /

node name="mongo" type="wrapper.py" pkg="mongodb" output="log"
param name="database_path" value="warehouse_data"/
param name="overwrite" value="false"/
param name="warehouse_port" value="27019"/
/node

node pkg="map_store" type="map_saver" name="map_saver" /
node pkg="map_store" type="map_manager" name="map_manager" output="screen"

remap from="dynamic_map" to="map_store_dynamic_map"/
remap from="map" to="map_store_map"/
/node

node name="map_server" pkg="map_server" type="map_server" args="$(arg map_file)"
!-- Remaps to load the map file --
remap from="/static_map" to="/dynamic_map" /
remap from="/map" to="/map_unused" /
/node

node pkg="map_store" type="add_map.py" name="add_map" args="$(arg map_name)" required="true" /

Map_store and Warehouse_ros

The map_manager.cpp and the map_saver.cpp are referring to headers mongo_ros/message_collection.h. mongo_ros do not exist anymore and when changing mongo_ros to warehouse_ros/message_collection.h it is a big mess because all the headers are then different, so catkin_make cant compile and returns an error. Is there any solution for this? how to communicate between warehouse_ros and map_store without any problems? I am using ROS indigo.
