Are you trying to create a point cloud map?

[Ladanovasv]

Yes, for online_vizualizator and ndt_localization

@Ladanovasv While I'm not sure, there's a difference, location maps don't currently offer visualizations. You can try any slam algorithm to make a visual map.

Given that porting different slam algorithms involves message format adjustments. I wrote a simple tool use ndt, it may be optimized in the near future

@daohu527 Thanks, can you give instructions on how to run it NDT localization with a map built by your algorithm?
