The package is tested in Ubuntu 16.04, ROS kinetic 1.12.14, Python 3.6.
Requirements:
numpy 1.17.2
scikit-learn 0.23.1
tensorflow 1.14.0
keras 2.2.4
Anaconda3 is recommended. With Anaconda3, only tensorflow and keras need to be installed.
To make ROS and Anaconda3 compatible, in a new terminal:
gedit ~/.bashrc
add: source /opt/ros/kinetic/setup.bash
delete: export PATH="/home/tyang/anaconda3/bin:$PATH"
source ~/.bashrc
before launch the package:
export PATH="/home/tyang/anaconda3/bin:$PATH"
example:
download the lanoising package and decompress in ./src of your catkin workspace (e.g. catkin_ws).
in a new terminal:
cd ./catkin_ws
catkin_make
download the models and put all the files in ./catkin_ws/src/lanoising/models:

or: https://pan.baidu.com/s/1ZFhiuWFYNuSCThR02bLO8A with the code: ptio
in the terminal:
roscore
in a new terminal:
rviz
play the reference rosbag (point clouds recorded by velodyne LiDAR under clear weather conditions):
rosbag play -l --clock 2019-02-19-17-13-37.bag
in rviz, change the Fixed frame to "velodyne".
add the topic "/velodyne_points" in rviz to show the reference data.
set the visibility in lanoising.py.
in a new terminal:
cd ./catkin_ws
source devel/setup.bash
export PATH="/home/tyang/anaconda3/bin:$PATH"
roslaunch lanoising lanoising.launch
add the topic "/filtered_points" in rviz to show the noising point cloud.
