Hello,
I’m quite new to ROS system and I’m trying to build an autonomous robot for a school project using a Jetson Nano (Ubuntu 18.04) with an YDLIDAR X4 Lidar. The robots need to be autonomous (hence the lidar) and needs to do social-distancing measurements (Jetson-inference will be used).
I’ve managed to build the ROS environment and managed to configure Hector_Slam package in order to create “live” map in Rviz following this tutorial : create.arduino.cc and used this command when faced issue with the “catkin_make” command after installing the Hector_slam package :
cd /usr/include
sudo ln -s opencv4/ opencv
from this tutorial : hackster.io
Now I want to save the map created after scanning my environment with the combo lidar/hector_slam using the following lines to launch the process :
- roslaunch ydlidar lidar.launch
- roslaunch hector_slam_launch tutorial.launch
However when I enter the code for saving a .tif image (rostopic pub syscommand std_msgs/String “savegeotiff”) the terminal used to start the mapping process tells me the following error :
Writing image with file /home/gribouille/catkin_ws/src/hector_slam/hector_geotiff/maps/hector_slam_map_17:56:55.tif failed with error Unsupported image format [ INFO] [1609952216.135949482]: GeoTiff created in 0,252163 seconds
Resulting with just a .tfw file and no .tif file. Any idea why I can’t manage to save my map ?
Should you need more information let me know!
Please find hereafter the terminal log.
