path-tracking-metrics

To calculate cross-track error and heading error from ROS 2 bag data, run an offline analysis script on rosbag files containing /odom and /plan data streams to quantify navigation path-tracking fidelity.

Evaluating ROS 2 navigation path-tracking quality requires metrics like cross-track error, heading error, path length ratio, and velocity statistics computed from odometry, plan, local_plan, cmd_vel, and tf data streams.

Yes, path-tracking analysis scripts apply to offline analysis for indoor and outdoor ROS 2 patrols, vehicle datasets, and simulated scenarios where path following is critical.

To troubleshoot ROS 2 navigation drift using rosbag2, analyze recorded odometry and plan data to compute mean, max, and statistics for tracking metrics, detecting degradation and guiding controller tuning.

Yes, measuring path length ratio and velocity statistics requires local_plan and cmd_vel topics alongside odometry, plan, and tf data streams recorded in your ROS 2 bag.
