What kind of data is stored in local and global costmap in ros navigation stack?












0














I'm looking the navigation stack of ros and I have a doubt regarding local and global costmaps. What kind of information is stored in each one? For example, if my global planner computes the shortest path among two points of a map, is in the global costmap the distance of each street that the global planner will use for the computation of the path or what information is stored in the costmap? I have read ros navigation stack documentation and I do not have clear what information can store. Also, the structure of the navigation stack is in the previous link.



Thank you so much for your help!!

          As far as I know, the difference is simple.




          • In the global costmap is everything the robot knows from previous visits and stored knowledge e.g. the map.

          • In the local costmap is everything that can be known from the current position with the sensors right know. E.g. walking people and other moving objects, as well as every wall etc. that can be seen.


          For example, it could happen that there is a path on the global map that doesn't exist anymore because it is blocked. The robot will still drive along this path until he can observe the problem and plan around.

            The content is/can be the same, but there are other differences:




            • resolution

            • how long is sensor data stored? (The local costmap moves with the robot and discards old data, if falls outside after moving.)

            • how often is the costmap updated?

            • what happens if the global or local planner are blocked?

            • different inflation.
