Localization in Existing Map about cartographer_ros HOT 7 CLOSED

@tom8382 We'll update this issue as we make progress here.

I encourage both of you to join our mailing list (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/google-cartographer) where there's currently an outline of the work that needs to be done to support this.

That said, localization in an existing map is possible in ROS already. For example, http://wiki.ros.org/amcl or http://wiki.ros.org/mrpt_localization.

As for an ETA, I'm afraid I can't help there. Top priority right now is getting everything stable and documented. We're of course happy to accept contributions!

I am also very interested in an answer to this query, and interested in knowing if there are any areas that the open source community could work on to expedite the feature's development.

In addition to what Damon already said: If you cannot wait, you can try out PerformGlobalLocalization() but be aware that we do not provide any ROS integration or documentation for it yet. Also, this is not suitable for continuously localizing, but intended to find a starting location.

Great. Thank you for the info! I wasn't sure if the maps you were producing would be compatible with other ROS packages or not but since they are I will definitely look into some of the other localization packages.
