The warning icp_odometry: Did not receive data since 5 seconds! Make sure the input topics are published ("$ rostopic hz my_topic") and the timestamps in their header are set seems indicate rtabmap doesn't receive the lidar data.

However, the lidar data's topic pulishes pointclouds just fine.

$ ros2 topic hz /r0/pointcloud
average rate: 7.498
	min: 0.091s max: 0.409s std dev: 0.09778s window: 9
average rate: 8.603

average rate: 8.889
	min: 0.086s max: 0.409s std dev: 0.05733s window: 40

Then I use rqt_graph to check the ROS graph, where I find the pose_graph_manager will publish the topic /r0/cslam/keyframe_odom and map_manager will subscribe to it.

rosgraph

However, the topic /r0/cslam/keyframe_odom doesn't publish any data, which confirmed that the rtabmap doesn't run correctly.

$ ros2 topic echo /r0/cslam/keyframe_odom

I have no idea why rtabmap doesn't receive the lidar data when it's published correctly.

rtabmap can't activate visualization

In rtabmap_s3e_lidar_odometry.launch.py, rtabmapviz is set to true. But when I launch this launch file, rviz doesn't show up.

Intead, using rtabmap source launch file with ros2 launch rtabmap_launch rtabmap.launch.py can activate the rviz.

I don't know why the rtabmap_s3e_lidar_odometry.launch.py doesn't activate rviz.

@lajoiepy Any help will be appreciated! Thank you!

Odometry works fine but no visualization

First, I have to correct my wrong judgement above. According the link, actually the above warning icp_odometry: Did not receive data since 5 seconds! Make sure the input topics are published doesn't mean the odometry mulfunctions. Setting use_sim_time to true in rtabmap_s3e_lidar_odometry.launch.py can mute these warnings.

The odom topic is published normally.

$ ros2 topic echo /r0/odom | grep position -A3

So I want to check the map built by the odometry. But ros2 topic hz /r0/odom_local_map shows nothing. Using cslam_visualization yields nothing as well. Logs and rviz are shown below.

Do you have any errors when you launch the visualization package? https://github.com/lajoiepy/cslam_visualization

When I type ros2 launch cslam_visualization visualization_lidar.launch.py, the cslam_visualization package doesn't report any error. But rviz seems to complain about my gpu. Yet rviz interface pops out normally. The logs and rviz interface is shown below.

I finally found the reason why cslam_visualization didn't display any information.

In cslam_lidar.launch.py line 38, it remaps /r0/pointcloud to /points. However, in lidar_handler_node.py line 29, the ApproximateTimeSynchronizer still subscribes to the topic /r0/pointcloud, which has been remapped to /points. So the lidar_callback function in lidar_handler_node.py is never called.
The following wrong rqt_graph shows node /r0/cslam_map_manager doesn't even subscribe to any lidar topic.

rosgraph

When I remove the remappings, things seem to be back on track. The new rqt_graph shows that /r0/cslam_map_manager can subscribe to lidar topic correctly now.

rosgraph_new

Here is the final trajectory visualized by cslam_visualization after all three graco bags ran over and all the loop closures were done.

2024-03-27_21-51

Yet, the trajectories should be wrong, since they are actually not in the same plane. Maybe it's because the odometry is not real-time on my computer. It can be seen that the odometry can only run at a rate of around 2~3Hz even no loop have been detected.

I'll try to run the algorithm on a more advanced computer later.

I met the visualization problem as well, could you list the order and command as well?
Thanks

@HaynesLi Actually for my case it's quite easy to fix the visualization problem.

  1. Remove cslam_lidar.launch.py line 38-40.
  2. Rebuild: colcon build

Then cslam_visualization works fine.

Hope it'll help you.

It seems that you don't use the Graco ros2bag to run, right?

These following processes are what I have done.
Configuration:

I created the three folders named Graco-0, Graco-1 and Graco-2 under the /src/cslam_experiments/data/Graco_Ground/ , where I put my symlinks to the first three ROS2bags datasets that I downloaded from the GRACO datasets website (Ground-01, Ground-02 and Ground-03).
I also had to do the same in the /install/cslam_experiments/share/cslam_experiments/data/Graco_Ground/ folder to be able to run the experiment without errors of missing data.

Execution:

I launch the simulation executing ros2 launch cslam_experiments graco_lidar.launch.py .

I launch the visualization with ros2 launch cslam_visualization visualization.laun

@HaynesLi I also used the graco dataset and launched the same launch file as you did.

@HaynesLi If you still have the visualization problem after following the above instruction, I suggest you check your rqt_graph to make sure the message flow is normal.

The code of this project is different from what I cloned before 5 months. In my codes, there is no remappings function just like you mentioned. It still can not be visualized. Can this project really be processed?

I installed Swarm-SLAM on docker and ran the graco example with visualization successfully, except for the bad real-time performance. If you want to try, maybe you could refer to my previous experience on issue #30.

I installed Swarm-SLAM on docker and ran the graco example with visualization successfully, except for the bad real-time performance. If you want to try, maybe you could refer to my previous experience on issue #30.

I run in docker as well. Now I found the problem. The data might not transport between 2 terminal windows even if these two windows exec the same docker container.

But the new problem to me is I don't know how to run the launch command in backend so that the running process will not be interrupted. Do you have any ideas?

If I do not run it in the backend, I can not run the visualization command in the same terminal.

I launch graco_lidar.launch.py and cslam_visualization in two separate terminals. I think there's no data transport problem.

It seems your cslam_visualization package can't find rclpy module. Maybe you should try to fix that first.
