This project is a ROS2 implementation of a tracking algorithm that can detect and track vehicles on a pressure-sensitive road surface. We developed this approach as a proof of concept in our paper [1], demonstrating that the road surface itself can be used as a data source for vehicle localization. In addition to the algorithm, the package also provides a visualization tool.
This tool is built with the colcon command line interface like any other ROS2 package. Instructions are found here.
The tracking pipeline needs a topic of type OccupancyGridMap. An example of a launch file can be found in the package ssl_vehicle_tracking. The provided RVIZ packages are automatically detected.
