map_dir for running localization.sh with Multi-Sensor Fusion Localization Data

[yuconglin]

I am trying to run the localization module separately with the localization data from apollo's data platform. Can I know which map_dir should I use? Thanks

[zhouyao4321]

The default map_dir "--map_dir=/apollo/modules/map/data/sunnyvale_big_loop" is OK, which is writed in modules/common/data/global_flagfile.txt. You can change the map_dir by add "--map_dir=your_map_path" in file modules/localization/conf/localization.conf.

Thanks for fast response! I tried to run localization.sh with "rosbag play -i data/bag/demo-multi_sensor_fusion_localization-data-apollo-2.0/data/bags/000.bag". But it looks like nothing happened. I did "rostopic echo /apollo/localization/pose" and only saw "/use_sim_time is not set, will not subscribe to simulated time [/clock] topic"

did I do anything wrong? BTW, where should I put the loca_map folder that came with the demo-multi_sensor_fusion_localization-data-apollo-2.0 data? Thanks a lot!

Hi, I‘m writing a document about how to start the localization module.

You can see the beta version on this link. https://github.com/zhouyao4321/apollo/blob/document_cn/docs/howto/how_to_run_MSF_localization_module_on_your_local_computer.md

Or this link, if you understand Chinese. https://github.com/zhouyao4321/apollo/blob/document_cn/docs/howto/how_to_run_MSF_localization_module_on_your_local_computer_cn.md

Hope it will be helpful. ：）

I tried to follow the steps and came across some issues when I tried to ran ./scripts/localization_online_visualizer.sh what showed on my screen is:

The first time I tried to ran the visualizer, the graphics are not smooth. The second time I tried, the graphics didn't show up. Both time I got the error : Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

Did anyone else tried the tutorial?

[zhouyao4321]

"The first time I tried to ran the visualizer, the graphics are not smooth." -> rebulild apollo with command "./apollo.sh build_opt"

I tried the command to rebuild. but the visualizer said: "ylin67@in_dev_docker:/apollo$ ./scripts/localization_online_visualizer.sh Load lidar extrinsic succeed.

any hints? Thanks.

[yuconglin]

It worked finally. Thanks for creating the tutorial !!!

One issue I observed is that the blue circle (gnss) always dropped behind when the car was running. Did you observe the similar phenomenon? Thanks

@yuconglin Hi, i had same issue after following the tutorial :https://github.com/ApolloAuto/apollo/blob/master/docs/howto/how_to_run_MSF_localization_module_on_your_local_computer.md

tianning@in_dev_docker:/apollo$ ./scripts/localization_online_visualizer.sh Load lidar extrinsic succeed.

How did you work out ?

[lygincn]

@yuconglin @Oofs @zhouyao4321 guys, where did you downloaded the demo-multi_sensor_fusion_localization-data-apollo-2.0.bag????? I can't find it through the link in the tutorial... even using a US IP... (http://data.apollo.auto/?name=sensor%20data&data_key=multisensor&data_type=1&locale=en-us&lang=en) I really need this data to do some tests, can you guys help me out? can you please send me the data if it's ok for you? Thank you so much!

[lygincn]

yeah... i have located the data in the link, but it's so slow accessing it with vpn and i even cannot sign in.. .

[Zhenni17]

@lygincn please let us know if you have successfully downloaded the data. Our website has both English and Chinese version. To locate the data, you need to visit http://apollo.auto > click "open platform" at the top of the website > click data.

[lygincn]

@Zhenni17 yes, it succedded. Thanks a lot.

[natashadsouza]

Closing this issue as it appears to be resolved.

I have the same issue. Can you share your experience? What you did in last?
