- <!-- REP-105 (http://www.ros.org/reps/rep-0105.html) specifies three principal coordinate frames: map,
- odom, and base_link. base_link is the coordinate frame that is affixed to the robot. The robot's
- position in the odom frame will drift over time, but is accurate in the short term and should be
- continuous. The odom frame is therefore the best frame for executing local motion plans. The map
- frame, like the odom frame, is a world-fixed coordinate frame, and while it contains the most
- globally accurate position estimate for your robot, it is subject to discrete jumps, e.g., due to
- the fusion of GPS data. Here is how to use the following settings:
- 1. Set the map_frame, odom_frame, and base_link frames to the appropriate frame names for your system.
- * If your system does not have a map_frame, just remove it, and make sure "world_frame" is set
- to the value of odom_frame.
- 2. If you are fusing continuous position data such as wheel encoder odometry, visual odometry, or IMU data,
- set "world_frame" to your odom_frame value. This is the default behavior for robot_localization's state
- estimation nodes.
- 3. If you are fusing global absolute position data that is subject to discrete jumps (e.g., GPS or position
- updates from landmark observations) then:
- 3a. Set your "world_frame" to your map_frame value
- 3b. MAKE SURE something else is generating the odom->base_link transform. Note that this can even be
- another instance of robot_localization! However, that instance should *not* fuse the global data. -->
