autoware_localization_launch

Shared localization launch library. This package ships one self-contained launcher per localization unit; the system component launcher in the product layer (autoware_launch/launch/components/component_localization.launch.xml) is the composition root that selects which units launch and wires the topics between them, the same way Localization.module.yaml composes its instances on the design side.

Launch files

There is no single entry launcher: each unit is included on its own, so a system launches only the estimators it uses and never loads the parameters of the others. Each unit declares its own *_param_path arguments and resolves them from the config package; the caller selects units, pushes the namespaces (pose_estimator, twist_estimator, util, pose_twist_fusion_filter) and wires the boundary topics (the arbiter relay inputs, eagleye standing in for the gnss pose).

  • pose_twist_estimator/*.launch.xml — one launcher per pose/twist estimator. Running several pose estimators additionally takes the pose estimator arbiter, which relays the estimator inputs and arbitrates the outputs; the composition root launches it from autoware_pose_estimator_arbiter.
  • util/util.launch.xml — pose initializer, automatic pose initializer, and the downsampling chain feeding NDT, loaded into the shared pointcloud container.
  • pose_twist_fusion_filter/pose_twist_fusion_filter.launch.xml — EKF localizer, stop filter, twist2accel, pose instability detector.
  • localization_error_monitor/localization_error_monitor.launch.xml

Config

Each unit resolves its parameter files from a config/ tree addressed through the localization_config_pkg argument, which defaults to autoware_localization_config. A product can relocate the whole tree by setting localization_config_pkg once at its entry point — the launch configuration propagates through every include — but it must then ship the same config/ layout. Products that differ in only a few files instead override the corresponding *_param_path arguments declared at the top of each unit launcher:

<include file="$(find-pkg-share autoware_localization_launch)/launch/pose_twist_estimator/ndt_scan_matcher.launch.xml">
  <arg name="ndt_scan_matcher/ndt_scan_matcher_param_path" value="..."/>
</include>

autoware_localization_launch

Shared localization launch library. This package ships one self-contained launcher per localization unit; the system component launcher in the product layer (autoware_launch/launch/components/component_localization.launch.xml) is the composition root that selects which units launch and wires the topics between them, the same way Localization.module.yaml composes its instances on the design side.

Launch files

There is no single entry launcher: each unit is included on its own, so a system launches only the estimators it uses and never loads the parameters of the others. Each unit declares its own *_param_path arguments and resolves them from the config package; the caller selects units, pushes the namespaces (pose_estimator, twist_estimator, util, pose_twist_fusion_filter) and wires the boundary topics (the arbiter relay inputs, eagleye standing in for the gnss pose).

  • pose_twist_estimator/*.launch.xml — one launcher per pose/twist estimator. Running several pose estimators additionally takes the pose estimator arbiter, which relays the estimator inputs and arbitrates the outputs; the composition root launches it from autoware_pose_estimator_arbiter.
  • util/util.launch.xml — pose initializer, automatic pose initializer, and the downsampling chain feeding NDT, loaded into the shared pointcloud container.
  • pose_twist_fusion_filter/pose_twist_fusion_filter.launch.xml — EKF localizer, stop filter, twist2accel, pose instability detector.
  • localization_error_monitor/localization_error_monitor.launch.xml

Config

Each unit resolves its parameter files from a config/ tree addressed through the localization_config_pkg argument, which defaults to autoware_localization_config. A product can relocate the whole tree by setting localization_config_pkg once at its entry point — the launch configuration propagates through every include — but it must then ship the same config/ layout. Products that differ in only a few files instead override the corresponding *_param_path arguments declared at the top of each unit launcher:

<include file="$(find-pkg-share autoware_localization_launch)/launch/pose_twist_estimator/ndt_scan_matcher.launch.xml">
  <arg name="ndt_scan_matcher/ndt_scan_matcher_param_path" value="..."/>
</include>

Please see <exec_depend> in package.xml.

autoware_localization_launch

Shared localization launch library. This package ships one self-contained launcher per localization unit; the system component launcher in the product layer (autoware_launch/launch/components/component_localization.launch.xml) is the composition root that selects which units launch and wires the topics between them, the same way Localization.module.yaml composes its instances on the design side.

Launch files

There is no single entry launcher: each unit is included on its own, so a system launches only the estimators it uses and never loads the parameters of the others. Each unit declares its own *_param_path arguments and resolves them from the config package; the caller selects units, pushes the namespaces (pose_estimator, twist_estimator, util, pose_twist_fusion_filter) and wires the boundary topics (the arbiter relay inputs, eagleye standing in for the gnss pose).

  • pose_twist_estimator/*.launch.xml — one launcher per pose/twist estimator. Running several pose estimators additionally takes the pose estimator arbiter, which relays the estimator inputs and arbitrates the outputs; the composition root launches it from autoware_pose_estimator_arbiter.
  • util/util.launch.xml — pose initializer, automatic pose initializer, and the downsampling chain feeding NDT, loaded into the shared pointcloud container.
  • pose_twist_fusion_filter/pose_twist_fusion_filter.launch.xml — EKF localizer, stop filter, twist2accel, pose instability detector.
  • localization_error_monitor/localization_error_monitor.launch.xml

Config

Each unit resolves its parameter files from a config/ tree addressed through the localization_config_pkg argument, which defaults to autoware_localization_config. A product can relocate the whole tree by setting localization_config_pkg once at its entry point — the launch configuration propagates through every include — but it must then ship the same config/ layout. Products that differ in only a few files instead override the corresponding *_param_path arguments declared at the top of each unit launcher:

<include file="$(find-pkg-share autoware_localization_launch)/launch/pose_twist_estimator/ndt_scan_matcher.launch.xml">
  <arg name="ndt_scan_matcher/ndt_scan_matcher_param_path" value="..."/>
</include>

Package Dependencies

Please see <exec_depend> in package.xml.

  • util/util.launch.xml — pose initializer, automatic pose initializer, and the downsampling chain feeding NDT, loaded into the shared pointcloud container.
  • pose_twist_fusion_filter/pose_twist_fusion_filter.launch.xml — EKF localizer, stop filter, twist2accel, pose instability detector.
  • localization_error_monitor/localization_error_monitor.launch.xml

Config

Each unit resolves its parameter files from a config/ tree addressed through the localization_config_pkg argument, which defaults to autoware_localization_config. A product can relocate the whole tree by setting localization_config_pkg once at its entry point — the launch configuration propagates through every include — but it must then ship the same config/ layout. Products that differ in only a few files instead override the corresponding *_param_path arguments declared at the top of each unit launcher:

<include file="$(find-pkg-share autoware_localization_launch)/launch/pose_twist_estimator/ndt_scan_matcher.launch.xml">
  <arg name="ndt_scan_matcher/ndt_scan_matcher_param_path" value="..."/>
</include>

autoware_localization_launch

Shared localization launch library. This package ships one self-contained launcher per localization unit; the system component launcher in the product layer (autoware_launch/launch/components/component_localization.launch.xml) is the composition root that selects which units launch and wires the topics between them, the same way Localization.module.yaml composes its instances on the design side.

Launch files

There is no single entry launcher: each unit is included on its own, so a system launches only the estimators it uses and never loads the parameters of the others. Each unit declares its own *_param_path arguments and resolves them from the config package; the caller selects units, pushes the namespaces (pose_estimator, twist_estimator, util, pose_twist_fusion_filter) and wires the boundary topics (the arbiter relay inputs, eagleye standing in for the gnss pose).

  • pose_twist_estimator/*.launch.xml — one launcher per pose/twist estimator. Running several pose estimators additionally takes the pose estimator arbiter, which relays the estimator inputs and arbitrates the outputs; the composition root launches it from autoware_pose_estimator_arbiter.
  • util/util.launch.xml — pose initializer, automatic pose initializer, and the downsampling chain feeding NDT, loaded into the shared pointcloud container.
  • pose_twist_fusion_filter/pose_twist_fusion_filter.launch.xml — EKF localizer, stop filter, twist2accel, pose instability detector.
  • localization_error_monitor/localization_error_monitor.launch.xml

Config

Each unit resolves its parameter files from a config/ tree addressed through the localization_config_pkg argument, which defaults to autoware_localization_config. A product can relocate the whole tree by setting localization_config_pkg once at its entry point — the launch configuration propagates through every include — but it must then ship the same config/ layout. Products that differ in only a few files instead override the corresponding *_param_path arguments declared at the top of each unit launcher:

<include file="$(find-pkg-share autoware_localization_launch)/launch/pose_twist_estimator/ndt_scan_matcher.launch.xml">

autoware_localization_launch

Shared localization launch library. This package ships one self-contained launcher per localization unit; the system component launcher in the product layer (autoware_launch/launch/components/component_localization.launch.xml) is the composition root that selects which units launch and wires the topics between them, the same way Localization.module.yaml composes its instances on the design side.

Launch files

There is no single entry launcher: each unit is included on its own, so a system launches only the estimators it uses and never loads the parameters of the others. Each unit declares its own *_param_path arguments and resolves them from the config package; the caller selects units, pushes the namespaces (pose_estimator, twist_estimator, util, pose_twist_fusion_filter) and wires the boundary topics (the arbiter relay inputs, eagleye standing in for the gnss pose).

  • pose_twist_estimator/*.launch.xml — one launcher per pose/twist estimator. Running several pose estimators additionally takes the pose estimator arbiter, which relays the estimator inputs and arbitrates the outputs; the composition root launches it from autoware_pose_estimator_arbiter.
  • util/util.launch.xml — pose initializer, automatic pose initializer, and the downsampling chain feeding NDT, loaded into the shared pointcloud container.
  • pose_twist_fusion_filter/pose_twist_fusion_filter.launch.xml — EKF localizer, stop filter, twist2accel, pose instability detector.
  • localization_error_monitor/localization_error_monitor.launch.xml

Config

Each unit resolves its parameter files from a config/ tree addressed through the localization_config_pkg argument, which defaults to autoware_localization_config. A product can relocate the whole tree by setting localization_config_pkg once at its entry point — the launch configuration propagates through every include — but it must then ship the same config/ layout. Products that differ in only a few files instead override the corresponding *_param_path arguments declared at the top of each unit launcher:

<include file="$(find-pkg-share autoware_localization_launch)/launch/pose_twist_estimator/ndt_scan_matcher.launch.xml">
  <arg name="ndt_scan_matcher/ndt_scan_matcher_param_path" value="..."/>
</include>

Package Dependencies

Please see <exec_depend> in package.xml.

autoware_localization_launch

Shared localization launch library. This package ships one self-contained launcher per localization unit; the system component launcher in the product layer (autoware_launch/launch/components/component_localization.launch.xml) is the composition root that selects which units launch and wires the topics between them, the same way Localization.module.yaml composes its instances on the design side.

Launch files

There is no single entry launcher: each unit is included on its own, so a system launches only the estimators it uses and never loads the parameters of the others. Each unit declares its own *_param_path arguments and resolves them from the config package; the caller selects units, pushes the namespaces (pose_estimator, twist_estimator, util, pose_twist_fusion_filter) and wires the boundary topics (the arbiter relay inputs, eagleye standing in for the gnss pose).

  • pose_twist_estimator/*.launch.xml — one launcher per pose/twist estimator. Running several pose estimators additionally takes the pose estimator arbiter, which relays the estimator inputs and arbitrates the outputs; the composition root launches it from autoware_pose_estimator_arbiter.
  • util/util.launch.xml — pose initializer, automatic pose initializer, and the downsampling chain feeding NDT, loaded into the shared pointcloud container.
  • pose_twist_fusion_filter/pose_twist_fusion_filter.launch.xml — EKF localizer, stop filter, twist2accel, pose instability detector.
  • localization_error_monitor/localization_error_monitor.launch.xml

Config

Each unit resolves its parameter files from a config/ tree addressed through the localization_config_pkg argument, which defaults to autoware_localization_config. A product can relocate the whole tree by setting localization_config_pkg once at its entry point — the launch configuration propagates through every include — but it must then ship the same config/ layout. Products that differ in only a few files instead override the corresponding *_param_path arguments declared at the top of each unit launcher:

<include file="$(find-pkg-share autoware_localization_launch)/launch/pose_twist_estimator/ndt_scan_matcher.launch.xml">
  <arg name="ndt_scan_matcher/ndt_scan_matcher_param_path" value="..."/>
</include>
