consider decreasing range of RGBD obstacle layer #18

Open rayvburn opened 1 year ago

With a real camera, at approx. 4-5 meters the projected laser scan points start to create false positives of obstacles (especially on the global costmap as local is bounded to 4 meters)

In fact, from the very beginning of this package existence, the rgbd_scan configuration limits the obstacle range to 3.5 m (both global_costmap_public_sim.yaml and local_costmap_public_sim.yaml:

    rgbd_scan:
      sensor_frame: base_footprint
      data_type: LaserScan
