Chapter 7: Building a Map

Note

This chapter is planned. This page lists what it will cover and the simulations that already exist for it.

Mapping from LiDAR point clouds in Python: occupancy grid maps, cost maps, potential field maps and NDT maps that a planner can use.

Sections

• 7.1 Binary occupancy grid map: binary_grid_map_construction

• 7.2 Cost map: cost_grid_map_construction

• 7.3 Potential field map: potential_field_map_construction

• 7.4 NDT map: ndt_map_construction

The system so far

The vehicle builds a map of its surroundings while it drives.
