[edit] Introduction

The laser scanner server (ulmsserver) has a number of statically linked modules for operation as a laser scanner server. It should be used primarily for plug-ins that are related to laser scanner data, but is able to handle any plugin (except some specific camera aware plugins that need the camera server environment).

[edit] Configurations

Typical configuration could be:

[edit] ulmsserver.ini for the SMR

server datapath="/vhome/jca/logfiles"
server port=24919
# for laser devices
module load='laserpool'
# handling of (server-global) configuration values
module load='var'
# load coordinate system plug-in
module load=odoPose
# make logfile for odometry updates (odoPose.log in datapath)
odopose log
# Configure laser scanner devices
scanset devtype='urg' devname="/dev/ttyACM0"
scanset def=urg
scanset x=0.22 y=0.0 z=0.05
scanset width=180
scanset logOpen
scanset log=1

This loads the needed modules for laserscanner and odometry support Logfiles are placed in the path specified by datapath

The data from the URG laserscanner is saved in a logfile (the last 2 lines). The filename will be laser_0.log.

On top of this some modules to use the laserscans e.g. a localizer and obstacle generation:

[edit] Replay configuration

Laser scanner logfiles can be replayed, but a replay device must be added to the configuration file, e.g. 

server datapath="/vhome/jca/logfiles"
server replaypath="/vhome/jca/replay/laser1/log"       <--- new line
server port=24919
# for laser devices
module load='laserpool'
# handling of (server-global) configuration values
module load='var'
# load coordinate system plug-in
module load=odoPose
# make logfile for odometry updates (odoPose.log in datapath)
# odopose log                                          <--- changed to a comment
odopose replay                                         <--- new line
#
scanset devtype='urg' devname="/dev/ttyACM0"
scanset def=urg
scanset devtype='replay' devname="laser_0.log"         <--- new device
scanset def=replay                                     <--- new line
scanset x=0.22 y=0.0 z=0.05
scanset width=180
#scanset mirror=true                                   <--- changed to comment
#scanset logOpen                                       <--- changed to comment
#scanset log=1                                         <--- changed to comment
...
# the rest of the configuration is unchanged - i.e. the functional modules that should be tested against the recorded laserscans.

This configuration should be saved in in a specific replay directory (here assumed to be ~/replay/laser1 In this directory make a subdirectory, e.g. called log

Place the logfiles in this directory. 

cd ~/replay/laser1/
mkdir log
cp ~/logfiles/*.log log/

Start the laser server 

ulmsserver

And start stepping through the recorded laserscans: 

>> scanset step
<scanset tod="1266588146.403597" time="15:02:26.403" logLine="3"/>
>>

If the auclient is running (and configured), then the scan should be visible in the navigation window.

The odometry pose can be stepped too: 

>> odopose step
<odopose tod="1266588154.579142" time="15:02:34.579" logLine="10"/>
>>

Once opened the two datasets are synchronized using the timestamp in the logfiles.

[edit] Replay synchronized across servers

If a connection is established to e.g. the camera server, then this interface can be used to synchronize any replay on that server, an interface should then be included in the configuration file like: 

# part of ulmsserver.ini
module load=if alias=cam
cam connect=localhost:24920
cam replay

And the other way if the image log-file is stepped, then an interface in the camera server must be established to the laser server, like: 

# part of ucamserver.ini
module load=if alias=laser
laser connect=localhost:24919
laser replay

The the two servers should now stay synchronized regardless of which interface is stepped.

[edit] laser scan logfile

Filename for laser 0 is 

laser_0.log

The file looks like this 

1216815130.160302 25905 0.5 -90 361 5.789 5.782 5.806 5.776 7.619 7.810 7.931 5.803 5.793 ...
1216815130.213813 25907 0.5 -90 361 5.751 5.767 5.777 5.774 5.785 5.784 7.854 7.370 5.795 ...
1216815130.267325 25909 0.5 -90 361 7.628 8.130 5.770 5.780 5.755 5.787 5.802 5.793 7.828 ...

The fields are: 

1 Timestamp (linux timestamp, valid to about 20ms)
2 scan number (e.g. 25909), 
3 resolution (here 0.5 degree), 
4 first angle (e.g. -90 degree), 
5 number of measurements (e.g. 361), 
6 first range (5.789 in meters), 
7 second range (5.782) 
8 ... and so forth.
