This fixes local constraint search in frozen maps built from multiple trajectories.
Local constraint search from a localization trajectory to a set of frozen trajectories
(i.e. the map) is done only among trajectories that are transitively connected in the
same connected component. If we set an initial pose, we create such a connection
to one frozen trajectory, but we were so far not able to do a local constraint search
w.r.t. to other frozen trajectories because they're not connected among each other.
Any constraints between them are not loaded (because they’re frozen).
This PR adds the possibility to use the TolerantLoss function for INS in pose graph optimization. This is currently switched off, and so there's not functional change.
The ceres TolerantLoss function (see [description](http://ceres-solver.org/nnls_modeling.html), and [implementation](https://github.com/ceres-solver/ceres-solver/blob/master/internal/ceres/loss_function.cc)) has the following property
- for large values of x it approaches a quadratic loss ("null loss") with the specified weight (fixed_frame_pose_translation_weight)
- for small values of x it approaches a quadratic loss with a smaller weight
- there's a crossover at some value x_c. The function is convex everywhere.
This fixes the bug that has been faced during localization with an initial pose and a trimmed map (OverlappingSubmapsTrimmer2D has been used). A small test is added that reproduces the problem (an infinite loop) where a trimmed trajectory (MapById instance) is used.
This package's CMakeLists.txt doesn't reference catkin at all, and can
be regarded as a "pure CMake" package. In fact, the package.xml already
states that this package is built using cmake directly, but still
depends on catkin.
This change makes the package buildable without catkin, as would be
desired when building with colcon in ROS 2.
This moves the Cartographer Open House slides to the bottom of
the README as an archive, and clarifies that regular meetings
are currently no longer happening.
`absl::StrCat/StrAppend` convert numeric values to strings with inconsistent
decimal precision, which can lead to ugly formatting of the histogram.
This can be fixed by using `StrAppendFormat` with `%f`, which uses 6
decimals (printf default and as it was when we had `std::to_string`).
Apparently the format bot uses a bleeding edge clang-format that uses
the new Google style and reformats a bunch of files in every PR. This is
an empty commit to trigger this in a separate commit.

An empty basename would mean a directory path is returned by
GetFullPathOrDie(), which then leads to a cryptic exception when trying
to read from it using the istreambuf_iterator:
"basic_filebuf::underflow error reading the file: iostream error"
This removes the hardcoded value of `collate_by_trajectory` in the cloud
map builder server and permits to configure `collate_by_trajectory`
option with lua.
This commit add support of specifying the option to collate data by
trajectory introduced in #828 in the lua configuration files.
The value is set to false as when a boolean option is not specified it
is initialized to false.
On Ubuntu 16.04, we have to install Protobuf 3. Unfortunately, `find_package()`ing Protobuf using native installed CMake `CONFIG` is problematic in case if there is a system Protobuf 2 installed, while the bundled CMake module works correctly and manages to avoid interference with system-installed Protobuf 2.
* Add cartographer_configuration_dumper executable.
While Lua inheritance can be great, this small tool solves the
pain of asking yourself "But what actually is my final config?".
Usage: `cartographer_dump_configuration <directory/-ies> <basename>`
Also includes the option to print only a subdictionary with e.g.:
`--subdictionary_id trajectory_builder.trajectory_builder_3d`
Adds a metric family that monitors:
- the number of submaps in frozen trajectories
- the number of submaps in active trajectories
- the number of deleted/trimmed submaps
In the current implementation, as soon as one trajectory is frozen it is not possible to use new landmarks anymore.
In this PR a suggest a change, that allows introducing new landmarks also in the presence of a frozen trajectory. This is done with the following steps:
- Store set of frozen landmarks
- Landmarks that are loaded from a pbstream, with the flag ` load_frozen_state=true` are inserted into the set of frozen landmarks via `setLandmarkPose` function
- frozen landmarks are set constant in the optimization problem
- new landmarks can be introduced and will be optimized in the optimization problem
