Rosbag replay simulation#

Steps#

  1. Download and unpack a sample map.

    • You can also download the map manually.
    gdown -O ~/autoware_map/ 'https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1A-8BvYRX3DhSzkAnOcGWFw5T30xTlwZI'
    unzip -d ~/autoware_map/ ~/autoware_map/sample-map-rosbag.zip
    
  2. Download the sample rosbag files.

    gdown -O ~/autoware_map/ 'https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1VnwJx9tI3kI_cTLzP61ktuAJ1ChgygpG'
    unzip -d ~/autoware_map/ ~/autoware_map/sample-rosbag.zip
    

Note#

  • Sample map and rosbag: Copyright 2020 TIER IV, Inc.
  • Due to privacy concerns, the rosbag does not contain image data, which will cause:
    • Traffic light recognition functionality cannot be tested with this sample rosbag.
    • Object detection accuracy is decreased.
