Hi thank you for your code.
I ran your code and met an error like this:

lookupTransform is a function from MRPT.

template <int DIM>
FrameLookUpStatus FrameTransformer<DIM>::lookupTransform(
	const std::string & target_frame,
	const std::string & source_frame,
	typename base_t::lightweight_pose_t & child_wrt_parent,
	const mrpt::system::TTimeStamp query_time,
	const double timeout_secs)

	ASSERTMSG_(timeout_secs == .0, "timeout_secs!=0: Blocking calls not supported yet!");
	ASSERTMSG_(query_time == INVALID_TIMESTAMP, "`query_time` different than 'latest' not supported yet!");

	const auto &it_src = m_pose_edges_buffer.find(source_frame);
	if (it_src == m_pose_edges_buffer.end()) {
		return LKUP_UNKNOWN_FRAME;
	}

	const auto &it_dst = it_src->second.find(target_frame);
	if (it_dst == it_src->second.end()) {
		return LKUP_NO_CONNECTIVITY;
	}

	const TF_TreeEdge & te = it_dst->second;
	child_wrt_parent = te.pose;

	return LKUP_GOOD;
}

Is this OK?
I don't know how to solve this.Thank you!

Bump, i'm having the same issue

subodh-malgonde · 2018-09-10T10:02:27Z

I was getting the same error when trying to play back data from a bag file. The mistake was launching all the static transforms and the rf2o_laser_odometry_node node in the same launch file.

rf2o_laser_odometry_node needs all the transforms to be published before it is started. Starting things in the following order fixed it for me:

Start roscore & publish static transforms
Play back data from the bag file
Start rf2o_laser_odometry_node

EDIT: I am getting the same error again, eventhough I am following the following steps. My tf tree is alright, it looks like this:

But I am getting an error:

[ERROR] [1536648967.296507406]: "base_footprint" passed to lookupTransform argument target_frame does not exist.

It seem that, it can't get the first laser data before the tf_listener.lookupTransform(base_frame_id, last_scan.header.frame_id, ros::Time(0), transform); in CLaserOdometry2DNode.cpp. So last_scan.header.frame_id will be empty at that time which cause the error. You can fix that by change the last_scan.header.frame_id with your own frame_id.

pfs-db · 2019-03-28T19:31:58Z

@HaoQChen Hey a tried what you sad but didn't worked could you take a look at my files to give a hit about what to do?

tf_listener.lookupTransform(base_frame_id, last_scan.header.frame_id, ros::Time::now(), transform);//tf_listener.lookupTransform(base_frame_id, last_scan.header.frame_id, ros::Time::now(), transform)

Hey.

HaoQChen · 2019-03-29T02:18:05Z

last_scan.header.frame_id

In your case, you should specify which last_scan.header.frame_id is, like that tf_listener.lookupTransform(base_frame_id, "my_laser_frame", ros::Time::now(), transform);. Cause last_scan.header.frame_id is still empty at that time, you need to specify it in string type.

I think this happen may due to the slow publication of laser data.

I have similar problem, but seems to be solved after adding a waitForTransfrom
For the CLaserOdometry2DNode.cpp,
I add a line
tf_listener.waitForTransform("/base_footprint","/laser_frame", ros::Time(), ros::Duration(5.0));
before the tf_listener.lookupTransform
I also changed the frame.id to /base_footprint and /laser_frame as HaoQChen suggested

this is caused by a race condition.
the method that looks up the transform between base and laser frame is called at the constructor, and it uses the frame of the last received laser message.
But in many cases no laser message will have been received when the constructor is called, therefore the lookup fails.

I did a fix for it by calling waitForMessage (for the scan) just before the lookup.

Here is another solution, by moving said method out of the constructor to the laser callback: #24

maybe is your rviz config error
