Addition of 3rd LiDAR to calibration setup

This week's progress:

  • Solving problems associated with the simulated environment, caused by ROS updates
  • Adaptation of the physical setup to include a third LiDAR
  • Brainstorming to create a support able to hold the chessboard
  • Recording of rosbag with real data - 3lidars and 1cam
  • Trying to solve problems caused by overload when collecting collections
  • Try to change frame rate of Astra Pro. Changing frame rate, changing the video mode and changing the resolution kills the RGB node. Data skip flag in driver doesn't work.
  • Adaptation of ATOM to have an option to throttle topics

TODO

  • Check inconsistencies in calibration results with real data
  • Finish topic throttle adaption
  • Change ATOM's collector to a more robust solution
