Added information from the comments into the question so I can clean up the comments.

The scan file should state whether the data should be in local or world coordinates - I would imagine it should be in local coordinates because a LIDAR unit only reports local measurements. If it doesn't make a distinction then it's probably local measurements. I don't know if the file is expecting an explicit scan angle or if you're supposed to provide a min/max angle and the number of measurements, or a start angle and a resolution, etc. | |

I work with LIDAR data on a daily basis, but not in the scope of ROS, GMapping, etc. I would guess the scan file is just comprised of a look angle and a distance, but I don't know if it's expecting the scan data to be indexed to the vehicle position. Please post an example of the scan file format you're trying to target and we can help you understand how to package your data appropriately. | |
