Tutorial

in asr_next_best_view:

In asr_next_best_view/rsc/regions_whole_room_with_normals.csv:

# Whole room -4.0,-4.0,0.0,4.0,4.0,2.25 Adjust -4.0 and 4.0 to the dimensions of the search space. It is no problem if they are taken to high.

If changed execute in terminal (relative to asr_next_best_view/rsc):

./!RegionToCropBoxAndNormals.py -i regions_whole_room_with_normals.csv -o!CropBoxListWholeRoomWithNormals.xml

CropBoxListWholeRoomWithNormals.xml

In asr_next_best_view/launch/next_best_view_core_sim.launch

mCropBoxListFilePath: Adjust to $(find asr_next_best_view)/rsc/CropBoxListWholeRoomWithNormals.xml In asr_state_machine/param/params.yaml
