Included packages

package	maintainer	authors	licence
`fremengrid`: Frequency Map Enhanced 3D occupancy grid - non uniform Fourier transform version	Tom Krajnik	Tom Krajnik	MIT
`frongo`: The frongo package	Jaime Pulido Fentanes		MIT
`fremen2dgrid`: Fremen2dgrid is a tool for prediction of cells' occupancy of 2d grids based on non-uniform Fourier Transform. It uses the frequency spectrum analysis to identify reoccuring patterns in temporal sequences of binary states and represents the probability of these states in an analythical form as a combination of harmonic functions. This allows to learn long-term dynamics of the environment and use the learned experience to predict states of the world models used in mobile robotics. This ability is beneficial for tasks like self-localization, object search, path planning, anomaly detection and exploration.	Tom Krajnik	Tom Krajnik	MIT
`fremenarray`: FremenArray is a tool for prediction of large arrays of binary states based on non-uniform Fourier Transform. It uses the frequency spectrum analysis to identify reoccuring patterns in temporal sequences of binary states and represents the probability of these states in an analythical form as a combination of harmonic functions. This allows to learn long-term dynamics of the environment and use the learned experience to predict states of the world models used in mobile robotics. This ability is beneficial for tasks like self-localization, object search, path planning, anomaly detection and exploration.	Tom Krajnik	Tom Krajnik	MIT
`fremenserver`: FremenServer is a tool for prediction of binary states based on non-uniform Fourier Transform.

This allows to learn long-term dynamics of the environment and use the learned experience to predict states of the world models used in mobile robotics. This ability is beneficial for tasks like self-localization, object search, path planning, anomaly detection and exploration.	Tom Krajnik	Tom Krajnik	MIT
`frongoweb`: The frongoweb package	Marc Hanheide		MIT
`froctomap`: The FrOctoMap (Frequency Enhanced OctoMap) method allows for efficient volumetric representation of dynamic three-dimensional environments over long periods of time. It is based on combination of a well-established 3D mapping framework called Octomaps and an idea to model environment dynamics by its frequency spectrum (FreMeN) [3]. The proposed method allows not only for efficient representation, but also reliable prediction of the future states of dynamic three-dimensional environments.	Tom Krajnik	Tom Krajnik	MIT

Included packages

package	maintainer	authors	licence
`pygame_managed_player`: This implements a pygame based player class that can (and should) be instantiated in any sound playing nodes (e.g. Mary, Music player of the walking group, sample playing for navigation feedback, etc.) It uses some negotiation between different instances of this class using a shared ROS topic and priorities to control the volume. E.g. speech output should be set to a high priority (1.0), ensuring that it always take preference over e.g. music (by assigning a music playing node a priority of 0.8). The volume is controlled by min_vol and max_vol, being floats between 0.0 (muted) and 1.0 (max volume). The player sets the volume to min_vol when another player with higher priority starts playing and sets it back to max_vol when that other component stops. Furthermore, the class wraps the strange pygame event handling into an event-driven framework, where programmers can register a stop_callback to be called whenever the playing ends. Also, optionally, play methods can be used blocking to wait for a tune to finish playing.	Marc Hanheide	Marc Hanheide	MIT
