Use latest velodyne package for organized cloud
The organize_cloud
option is able in the master branch of the velodyne package https://github.com/ros-drivers/velodyne/blob/720829573076bf7d7edd4b1de344924fad909049/velodyne_pointcloud/src/conversions/transform.cc#L49-L54 but not in the latest released version.
Having the an organized cloud will allow for more efficient calculation of normals (since there are a known number of "rows" per lidar scan), and provide more information for things like free space projection.
AC: Master branch of velodyne
as a git submodule, and the organize_cloud
parameter set in the velodyne_lidar.launch
file.
