Subject: Re: [ros-users] Obstacles Detection with laser data
Ah ok, I understand. For efficiency, rather than computing the distance to
each point in the cloud each time, you can project the cloud into a grid
representing the robot configuration space and inflate each obstacle. This
is already implemented in the costmap_2d ROS package.
