ExtractPolygonalPrismData segmentation
Description: ExtractPolygonalPrismData segmentationTutorial Level:
Contents
The following launch file starts a nodelet manager together with a VoxelGrid PCL filter nodelet. The input PointCloud2 topic is set to /scene_pointcloud2.
The default filtering values are set to filter data on the z-axis between 0.01 and 1.5 meters, and downsample the data with a leaf size of 0.01 meters.
The segmentation is performed by first estimating surface normals at each point for a support of 0.015 meters, and then using a RANSAC-based estimator for fitting planes with a threshold of 0.1 meters, and a normal deviation of ~5 degrees (0.09 radians).
The convex hull of the projected planar inliers is estimated and an ExtractPolygonalPrismData nodelet is used to extract all point indices between 0 and 0.5 meters from the planar table support, with their projections falling inside the convex hull.
