PR Details

Description

This PR adds a new launch and config file for launching the point_type_adapter and point_cloud_fusion_node, Autoware.Auto's ROS2 version of the points_concat_filter package in Autoware.AI. This is configured to fuse the point clouds from the two LiDAR sensors onboard the CARMA freight trucks.

Motivation and Context

Currently, freightliner trucks equipped with CARMA Platform have two velodyne lidars (compared to the single velodyne lidar on our passenger vehicles equipped with CARMA Platform), and the autoware.ai ‘points_concat_filter’ node (a ROS 1 Noetic node) is used to concatenate these two point clouds into a single point cloud to be used by the rest of the system. As part of the overall migration from ROS 1 Noetic to ROS 2 Foxy for CARMA Platform, the system should leverage the ROS 2 Foxy version of this node made available in Autoware.Auto.

How Has This Been Tested?

This was tested by launching CARMA Platform on the freight truck and verifying that point_cloud_fusion_nodes fused the scans from the two velodyne sensors and published the result with the correct topic name and frame id.
