💖 CARMEN2SIMPLEMAP — the MRPT glow-up era 💖

okay bestie, so this one lives in the Mobile Robot Programming Toolkit (MRPT) family, and it's literally a little command-line bestie that does one job and does it slayfully. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

carmen2simplemap — converts robotic datasets between the CARMEN format and the simplemap format. no cap, that's the whole vibe. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

             map.simplemap [-q] [-w] [--] [--version] [-h]

carmen2simplemap --help

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So like. carmen2simplemap is a command-line application, right, and its entire main character moment is: take a CARMEN robotic dataset (one that already has corrected poses baked in, ok? that part matters, iykyk) and turn it into the "simplemap" file format. and then from that you can go build metric maps — points, occupancy grids, etc. etc. ✨

it's giving pipeline energy. it's giving "i'm the middle step and i'm thriving". 🎀

🍓 Arguments

  • -z <0: none, 1-9: min-max>, --compress-level <0: none, 1-9: min-max> — sets the output GZ-compress level. it's optional, so no pressure bestie, but if you want that squeeze, this is how. 0 means none, and 1 through 9 runs from min to max. 💖
  • -i <carmen.log>, --input <carmen.log> — the input dataset. and like… it's required (required!!) and it's a *.log file. cannot skip this one, she's the whole point. 😭
  • -o <map.simplemap>, --output <map.simplemap> — the output file. also required, also iconic, and it's a *.simplemap file. 👑
  • -q, --quiet — terse output. she's not chatty. minimal words, maximum efficiency. 🤫
  • -w, --overwrite — forces overwrite of the target file without prompting. so like, be aware, because she will NOT ask you twice, she'll just go. 💀
  • --, --ignore_rest — ignores the rest of the labeled arguments that come after this flag. everything after it just gets politely un-seen. 🙈
  • --version — displays version information and then exits. a quick lil "who am i" then she's gone. ⭐
  • -h, --help — displays usage information and exits. your girl handing you the instructions then dipping. 💜
