How to convert odometry_sequences to bag

[lynubot]

I'm running this package on Ubuntu 16.04 with python aliased to python2.7, I ran into this exception message:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/kitti2bag", line 394, in <module> main() File "/usr/local/bin/kitti2bag", line 359, in main kitti = pykitti.odometry(args.dir, args.sequence) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pykitti/odometry.py", line 34, in __init__ self._load_calib() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pykitti/odometry.py", line 172, in _load_calib data['T_cam0_velo'] = np.reshape(filedata['Tr'], (3, 4)) KeyError: 'Tr'
How to resolve this question

I meet the same question. Is there some solutions?

[MrMinemeet]

More or less having the same problem at the moment.

~/src$ kitti2bag -s 00 odom_gray

You can try my personal kitti2bag fork/pull request, which fixes the breaking changes from newer pykitti versions you encountered. The CLI command is slightly different as well: kitti2bag odom -c gray -s 00.

[MrMinemeet]

@valgur I tried your fork you linked to.
Sadly it still gives me the KeyError: 'Tr'

kitti2bag odom -c gray -s 00

It seems like the odom calibration files you have might simply be broken/empty for some reason? Try extracting and overwriting the calibration files again.

[MrMinemeet]

ok. So I redownloaded the 21GB kitti dataset tried running kitti2bag which gave me the same error as above . So I replaced the calibration files with the ones that you linked to. When running it with the replaced calibration files it throws me a new error.

Looks like pykitti only supports Python 3. Try using it instead.

[MrMinemeet]

ok I installed your kitti2bag using pip3 now. had to install a few extra things that where missing.
Now I'm stuck with this one:

I have to say the kitti2bag installed from pip is out of date.
I think you can amend the source code on your own with just a little effort to make it compatible with latest pykitti.
I tried valgur's fork before and it worked well.
Also, you can try my fork. Please follow the How to install it? & How to run it? instruction to make it work.

[MrMinemeet]

Nice got it working now. I'm not sure if it's because of the other way to install pykitti which is mentioned in @ulterzlw 's fork or it didn't work as I tried to install kitti2bag using pip3 install git+https://github.com/valgur/kitti2bag.git.
Either way both forks work now. 👍
Thank you so much

[heethesh]

@ulterzlw 's I had issues with transforms in /tf_static not being published. @valgur how can I publish point clouds as well for odometry sequences using your version?

[valgur]

@heethesh Point cloud conversion for odometry bags is not yet implemented, unfortunately. You can try adapting the relevant part from the raw bag conversion code for odometry bags, if you have a need for this right now. I'll probably add this at some later point.

[ulterzlw]

@heethesh Hi, does the generated odometry bag contain /tf_static. If it does, the static transformation utilizes ros_tf2, which just needs to be pulished once.
You can also load rviz/kitti.rviz from my fork to rviz, and play bag to visualize it.
