Background

Objective

The objective of the package is to create the temporal heatmaps that show for each 1 m2, and each 1 hour of each workday the rate of human occupancy.

Information about how to install the THMHO_heatmap_generator can be found at the corresponding section of the Installation & Administration Guide.

Usage

Information about how to use the THMHO_heatmap_generator can be found in the User & Programmers Manual.

Testing

Troubleshooting

• Message Requesting the map... on terminal or No map received in RViz

  The file pointed by sim_map_file (for simulation) or real_map_file (for real laser scanners) in factory_sim/launch/factory.launch may not exist in the workspace.

• No heatmap is vizualized in RViz

  If Costmap is not visualized as well, verify if the laser scan topic names specified in factory_sim/config/costmap_params.yaml are correct, and if the tf tree is published correctly. If Costmap is visualized, it should be noted that the first heatmap is published after the time specified by aggregation_time argument for heatmap_generator node in factory_sim/launch/factory.launch. The default value is 3600, i.e. 1 hour.
