[RFC 24](https://github.com/googlecartographer/rfcs/blob/master/text/0024-monitoring-ros.md)
Public API:
- adds `cartographer_ros::metrics::FamilyFactory`
- compatible with `::cartographer::metrics::RegisterAllMetrics`
Public RPC interface:
- adds the ROS service `/read_metrics`
- response contains the latest values of all available metric families
As per ROS [tutorials](http://wiki.ros.org/ROS/Tutorials/DefiningCustomMessages#Dependencies)
Edit: For future readers, the linked tutorial was referring to `run_depend` from package format 1 as pointed out by @ojura, it has now been updated to refer to `exec_depend` from format 2
If the new `publish_frame_projected_to_2d` option is set to true,
the published pose will be restricted to a pure 2D pose
(no roll, pitch, or z-offset).
This prevents potentially unwanted out-of-plane poses in 2D mode
that can occur due to the pose extrapolation step (e.g. if the pose
shall be published as a 'base-footprint'-like frame).
This will allow us to keep way less information in memory for SLAMing and fixes crashes related to multi trajectory (e.g. this fixes#413).
It also means that to get to an X-Ray or a map, users need to run the asset writer now after SLAMing, which is inconvenient.
Remove dependency on YAML and delete more dead code.
This adds an option to subdivide sensor_msgs/LaserScan and
sensor_msgs/MultiEchoLaserScan messages into multiple point
clouds. For slow spinning laser scanners this allows unwarping
using googlecartographer/cartographer#408.
- Move sources from <project>/src into project/project and fix includes.
- Add autogenerated CMakeFiles for ROS projects. The python script is
not yet fully updated to be used for keeping the files updated without
manual intervention though.
- Build everything with -fPIC, so we can create shared libraries.
When receiving a FinishTrajectory call, the Cartographer nodes catches up on
computing loop closures, runs a final optimization, and when in 2D writes out
a PGM map similar to map_saver.
The 'version_' member of a DrawableSubmap is now properly initialized.
The redundant 'submap_id' in the SubmapQuery response is removed.
The missing slot for reset() is added.
