nearRangeM(i.e. range_min) of rtx_lidar dosen't work on Isaac Sim to ROS 2

  • Omniverse: 1.9.8
  • Isaac Sim: 2023.1.1

According to RTX Lidar Config Parameters, I set rangeOffset=0.02, nearRangeM=0.1, farRangeM=200.

My python script, json config and rviz2_config are here:
rtx_lidar.zip (12.6 KB)

  1. run the following command to start rviz2
rviz2 -d rtx_lidar.rviz
  1. run the sample script to open Isaac Sim
./python.sh standalone_examples/api/omni.isaac.ros2_bridge/rtx_lidar.py

When lidar approaches wall(0.3m approximately), but there are no point cloud on nearest wall.

Using ros2 topic echo to check range_min and range_max:

ros2 topic echo /laser_scan --no-arr

ros2_topic_echo

print lidar topic ranges:

class RtxLidar(Node):
    def __init__(self, name):
        super().__init__(name)
        self.sub = self.create_subscription(LaserScan, "laser_scan", self.raw_scan_callback, 1)

    def raw_scan_callback(self, msg):
        import math
        if len(msg.ranges) != 3600 or len(msg.intensities) != 3600:
            return
        for i in range(360):
            angle = msg.angle_min + msg.angle_increment * 10 * i
            print("{}: angle = {:.4f} deg, range = {:.3f} m".format(i, angle*180/math.pi, msg.ranges[10 * i]))
        exit(1)

and log is:

It seems that range will be set to 0.0m when range less than 0.4m?

I can confirm this problem!
I already tried setting/not setting MinReflectance and MinReflectanceRange. RangeOffset does nothing either. Also tried normal/correction in intensityProcessing. Also the rayType does nothing.

Wow, I’m surprised this is the first time this was noticed. There is an undocumented (we will fix that) parameter minDistBetweenEchos. It defaults to 0.4, but it needs to be <= nearRangeM if you want nearRangeM to work!

After adding that parameter, I was able to see near points.
