Ground Segmentation Node

Maintained by Nova

Overview

The code establishes a ROS node which processes LiDAR input, removes ground points using a grid-based MRF method, and publishes the filtered LiDAR data. This segmentation operates within a 2D grid framework and expands from the center to determine whether each grid cell ground points.

In:

  • /clock Clock
    • Receives synchronization data from CARLA’s simulation clock.
  • /lidar PointCloud2
    • Receives raw LiDAR point cloud data.

Out:

  • /lidar/filtered PointCloud2
    • Publishes LiDAR data with ground points removed.

pointCloudCb(msg: PointCloud2::SharedPtr)

Processes raw LiDAR data by removing ground points and then publishes the filtered version.

removeGround(raw_cloud: pcl::PointCloud<pcl::PointXYZI>)

Removes ground points from raw LiDAR data using the Markov Random Field method..
