Re: [ros-users] creating costmap from image data

Hitesh,

The costmap currently takes in observations about obstacles in the world
either as PointCloud or LaserScan messages. If you can find a way to convert
the objects you've detected in your image into PointClouds... you could just
pass them to the costmap and things should work... this is what we've done
with our own stereo cameras combined with some downsampling.

Hope this helps,

Eitan
