carla_localization
Ground truth localization from CARLA simulation.
Nodes
localization
Publishes the ego vehicle’s ground truth pose as TF transforms. The transform chain is map -> odom -> base_link, where the map -> odom transform is identity (no drift in simulation) and odom -> base_link contains the vehicle’s actual pose from CARLA.
Coordinates are converted from CARLA’s left-handed system (X-forward, Y-right, Z-up) to ROS’s right-handed system (X-forward, Y-left, Z-up).
