Hey Armin, A) The problem with Rviz and octomap was my fault: I was subscribing to "occupied_cells_vis_array" (as advertised by rostopic), changing to "occupied_cells_vis" works perfectly! Thanks! B) I am trying to discover what octomap can or cannot do in terms of sensor-noise and position-error cancelation. Therefore, I was trying to compare inserting scans one by one or point by point in an OcTree. I had found read_pointcloud to contains and example on how to insert a scan at once. Still, I am not really understanding the difference between OcTree and ScanGraph. Is there a starting point other than the examples and the scientific paper to grasp all octomap's concepts? Is there actually a difference in inserting scans point by point or all a once? And what would be the way to do that properly from a pointcloud2 message? I know, that's a lot of questions... :) Concerning octomap2 and collision_octomap, I will wait for Kai's input or the future public release :) Thanks a lot for your answer Raph -- View this message in context: http://ros-users.122217.n3.nabble.com/weirdnesses-in-octomap-impossible-to-build-collision-octomap-tp2241361p2242583.html Sent from the ROS-Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
