NAME

ros-map-yaml2mrpt - Convert a ROS map_server .yaml file into MRPT gridmaps

SYNOPSIS

ros-map-yaml2mrpt [--generate-3d] [-q] [-w] [-d <.>] -i <map.yaml> [--]
[--version] [-h]

USAGE EXAMPLES

Convert a ROS yaml file into an MRPT .gridmap file in the same directory

ros-map-yaml2mrpt -i map.yaml

Convert it, and also generate a .3Dscene file for quick inspection

ros-map-yaml2mrpt -i map.png --generate-3d

DESCRIPTION

ros-map-yaml2mrpt is a command-line application to convert a yaml file and an image file (following ROS1 map_server YAML file format) into an MRPT `.gridmap.gz` file. A `.gridmap.gz` file is just a gz-compressed file containing the serialization of an object of type `mrpt::maps::COccupancyGridMap2D`.

USAGE:

   ros-map-yaml2mrpt  [--generate-3d] [-q] [-w] [-d <.>] -i <map.yaml> [--]
                      [--version] [-h]

Where:

   --generate-3d
     Create a .3Dscene view of the gridmap, suitable for quick
     visualization in the SceneViewer3D program.
   -q,  --quiet
     Do not print info messages to cout, only errors to cerr
   -w,  --overwrite
     Force overwrite target file without prompting.
   -d <.>,  --output-directory <.>
     If provided, output files will be written to the specified directory,
     instead of the same directory of the input file, which is the default
     behavior. The output directory must exist, it will not be created.
   -i <map.yaml>,  --input <map.yaml>
     (required)  Input map yaml file (required) (*.yaml)
   --,  --ignore_rest
     Ignores the rest of the labeled arguments following this flag.
   --version
     Displays version information and exits.
   -h,  --help
