OBSERVATIONS2MAP(1)

🗺️ ✨ observations2map — NAME ✨ 🗺️

okay so bestie, observations2map is literally the girl who takes a whole pile of pairs of <pose,observation> and turns them into metric maps 💅 like she's the glow-up artist for your raw data. that's the whole gig. that's her.

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

observations2map config_file.ini observations.simplemap output_maps_prefix

three little things and she's off, no cap 🫶

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea ☕ observations2map reads a multi metric map description out of the config file, and then — this is the part that eats — she inserts all the observations into it. every single one. she's committed like that 💖

then? she saves all the metric maps to independent files. like, each one gets its own little file, main character energy, no sharing, we love that for them 👑

and what is this even for, you ask? literally you can use it to generate:

• point maps ⭐
• occupancy grid maps 🎀
• or honestly any kind of maps you want 🌈

...all from a sequence of localized observations. it's giving "I have poses and I know how to use them" fr fr 🔥
