Thanks for reporting this! Could you please copy and paste the error log?
I've gotten a variety of them - here's the last one that I got.
I0728 14:00:16.570504 506 incremental_estimator.cpp:104] Took 2.078 ms to create loop closures sub maps.
I0728 14:00:16.570518 506 incremental_estimator.cpp:106] Creating loop closure ICP.
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'PointMatcher<float>::ConvergenceError'
what(): no outlier to filter
Ok that occurs when doing an ICP step after a loop closure is detected. In our latest development we turned this option off by setting the following parameter to false:
In general, relying on the segment centroids already provide a satisfying transformation. Could you maybe try turning this parameter to false?
When running on the KITTI datasets, the laser_mapper node crashes and respawns every so often, restarting mapping and state estimation. It seems to be linked to exceptions or errors being related to ICP convergence issues.
I think performance could be greatly increased by catching the exceptions and then relying on odometry rather than letting the node die and then respawning it.
