Denoise Layer Parameters

This layer attempts to remove simple noise that may exist in a costmap's layers due to sensor noise or discrete raycasting errors.

<denoise layer> is the corresponding plugin name selected for this type.

<denoise layer>.enabled

Type: bool Default: true

Whether it is enabled.

<denoise layer>.minimal_group_size

Type: int Default: 2

The minimum number of adjacent obstacles that should not be discarded as noise.

• If 1 or less, all obstacles will be kept.
• If 2, standalone obstacles (without neighbors in adjacent cells) will be removed.
• If N, obstacles groups smaller than N will be removed.

<denoise layer>.group_connectivity_type

Type: int Default: 8

Obstacles connectivity type (is the way in which obstacles relate to their neighbors). Must be 4 or 8.

• 4 - adjacent obstacles are connected horizontally and vertically.
• 8 - adjacent obstacles are connected horizontally, vertically and diagonally.
