一、ROS中激光雷达数据类型传递转换；

     ROS中涉及激光雷达传递的消息类型有两种，一种是针对2D雷达:sensor_msgs::LaserScan;一种是针对3D雷达的即点云数据的：sensor_msgs::PointCloud2.

(1) 2D激光雷达LaserScan;

ROS中LaserScan.msg定义类型如下：

File: sensor_msgs/LaserScan.msg
Raw Message Definition
# Single scan from a planar laser range-finder
#
# If you have another ranging device with different behavior (e.g. a sonar
# array), please find or create a different message, since applications
# will make fairly laser-specific assumptions about this data

Header header            # timestamp in the header is the acquisition time of 
                         # the first ray in the scan.
                         #
                         # in frame frame_id, angles are measured around 
                         # the positive Z axis (counterclockwise, if Z is up)
                         # with zero angle being forward along the x axis
                         
float32 angle_min        # start angle of the scan [rad]
float32 angle_max        # end angle of the scan [rad]
float32 angle_increment  # angular distance between measurements [rad]

float32 time_increment   # time between measurements [seconds] - if your scanner
                         # is moving, this will be used in interpolating position
                         # of 3d points
float32 scan_time        # time between scans [seconds]

float32 range_min        # minimum range value [m]
float32 range_max        # maximum range value [m]

float32[] ranges         # range data [m] (Note: values < range_min or > range_max should be discarded)
float32[] intensities    # intensity data [device-specific units].  If your
                         # device does not provide intensities, please leave
                         # the array empty.

    scan.intensities.resize(num_readings);

  points_sub = node.subscribe("/points_cloud", 5, PointCloud_callback);
  
  Map_pub= node.advertise("/filtered_map", 5, true);

  ros::spin();

  return 0;
}

（3）pointcloud  to laserscan 转换;

    pointcloud类型可以转化为 laserScan，github有专门的代码包：

    https://github.com/ros-perception/pointcloud_to_laserscan

二、点云数据解析;

       在进行ROS消息类型和PCL库点云类型之间转换时，除了可以利用PCL自带的转换函数，也可以自己解析。参考代码如下：

  void velodyPointCloundCallback(const sensor_msgs::PointCloud2ConstPtr &point_clound)
  {
     std::string frame_id = point_clound->header.frame_id;
     ros::Time received_time = point_clound->header.stamp;

      std::vector *gridpoints;
      gridpoints = new std::vector[laser_rings];
      pcl::PointXYZI point;

      //通过迭代器获取参数；
     for (sensor_msgs::PointCloud2ConstIterator its(*point_clound, "x"); its != its.end(); ++its)
      {
        const uint16_t r = *((const uint16_t*)(&its[5])); // ring
        float x_p = its[0]; // x
        float y_p = its[1]; // y
        float z_p = its[2]; // z
        float in_p = its[4]; // intensity

        point.x = x_p;
        point.y = y_p;
        point.z = z_p;
        point.intensity = in_p;

        gridpoints[r].push_back(point);
    }
 }

 

三、自定义点云数据类型;

     在PCL点云库中，提供了自定义模板扩展，用户可以自己定义点云的数据类型。PCL提供了常见的点云类型，包括：pcl::PointXYZ, pcl::PointXYZI,pcl::PointXYZL等。pcl提供的点云数据类型

    如果需要自己重新添加自定义的点云类型，可参考如下：

#include 
#include 

struct PointXYZIRPYT
{
    PCL_ADD_POINT4D
    PCL_ADD_INTENSITY;
    float roll;
    float pitch;
    float yaw;
    double time;
    EIGEN_MAKE_ALIGNED_OPERATOR_NEW
} EIGEN_ALIGN16;

POINT_CLOUD_REGISTER_POINT_STRUCT (PointXYZIRPYT,
                                   (float, x, x) (float, y, y)
                                   (float, z, z) (float, intensity, intensity)
                                   (float, roll, roll) (float, pitch, pitch)
                                   (float, yaw, yaw)
                                   (double, time, time)
)

typedef PointXYZIRPYT PointTypePose;

#include 

#define PCL_NO_PRECOMPILE
#include 
#include 
#include 

struct _Kitti_PointExtended {
  inline _Kitti_PointExtended(const _Kitti_PointExtended &p)
    : data { p.x, p.y, p.z, 1.0f }, i(p.i){
  }

  inline _Kitti_PointExtended()
    : data { 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f }, i(0.0f) {
  }

  friend std::ostream& operator << (std::ostream& os, const _Kitti_PointExtended& p) {
    return os << "x: "<< p.x << ", y: " << p.y << ", z: " << p.z
        << ", intensity : " << p.i;
  }
  PCL_ADD_POINT4D;
  union {
    struct {
      float i;
    };
    float data_c[4];
  };
  EIGEN_MAKE_ALIGNED_OPERATOR_NEW
}EIGEN_ALIGN16;       // 强制SSE对齐

// Register the point type.
POINT_CLOUD_REGISTER_POINT_STRUCT (_Kitti_PointExtended,
                                   (float, x, x)
                                   (float, y, y)
                                   (float, z, z)
                                   (float, i, i)
)

typedef _Kitti_PointExtended PointKittiExtended;
