Navigation Map Generator

Name

Generation of navigation map (2D) from geometric map (3D)

Description

This component enables 2D geometric maps to be built from 3D metric-semantic models for use in 2D navigation and planning algorithms. This is achieved through a careful flattening process of the geometric information.

Key Features:

  • Creates a 2D geometric navigation map of the environment
  • Supports 3D maps in multiple formats as input
  • Configurable via YAML parameter files

This component enables navigation features by creating a 2D map of the environment from an existing 3D map, which the agent can then use to compute and execute trajectories in order to fulfil a given goal. This component acts as an intermediary between the full 3D reconstruction of the environment and the necessary navigation features.
