traffic_light_visualization
Purpose
The traffic_light_visualization
is a package that includes two visualizing nodes:
- traffic_light_map_visualizer is a node that shows traffic lights color status and position on rviz as markers.
- traffic_light_roi_visualizer is a node that draws the result of traffic light recognition nodes (traffic light status, position and classification probability) on the input image as shown in the following figure and publishes it.
