Voxfield Panmap

Multi-resolution panoptic volumetric maping based on panoptic_mapping using Voxfield as its mapping backbone. Please check our Voxfield paper for more details.

Paper and Video

1-min demo video | 7-min presentation | paper

Installation

It's the same as the original panmap. Please check the instructions from here.

Build the repository by:

catkin build panoptic_mapping_utils

Example Usage

Configure the parameters in the .yaml files in ./panoptic_mapping_ros/config/mapper/.

And then launch the mapper by:

roslaunch panoptic_mapping_ros run_[xxx_dataset].launch

Our Voxfield Panmap supports both the RGB-D and LiDAR input and provides some example experiments on datasets including ASL Flat, Cow and Lady, (Semantic) KITTI, Semantic USL, MaiCity, Newer College, etc.

Here, we provide the link to the exmaple rosbag for Semantic KITTI (2.9GB) and Semantic USL (0.9GB) dataset for testing.
