urban_road_filter: a real-time LIDAR-based urban road and sidewalk detection algorithm for autonomous vehicles

Dependency

  • ROS (tested with Kinetic and Melodic)
  • PCL

Install

Use the following commands to download and compile the package.

cd ~/catkin_ws/src
git clone https://github.com/jkk-research/urban_road_filter
catkin build urban_road_filter

Getting started

Issue the following commands to start roscore, download and play sample data, and start the algorithm with visualization. You can also watch this as a youtube tutorial.

In a new terminal start roscore:

roscore

In a new terminal go to your bag folder (e.g. ~/Downloads):

cd ~/Downloads

Download a sample rosbag (~3,3 GB):

wget https://laesze-my.sharepoint.com/:u:/g/personal/herno_o365_sze_hu/EYl_ahy5pgBBhNHt5ZkiBikBoy_j_x95E96rDtTsxueB_A?download=1 -O leaf-2021-04-23-campus.bag

Play rosbag:

rosbag play -l ~/Downloads/leaf-2021-04-23-campus.bag

In a new terminal start the urban_road_filter node, rviz and rqt_reconfigure with roslaunch:

roslaunch urban_road_filter demo1.launch
