• Takes a rosbag file and converts it to a matlab mat file based on settings specified in a Dictionary and a yaml config file.

  • Dictonary: The dicionary file specified which variables from each message type should be moved to the matlab array. eg sensor_msgs/NavSatFix: t.to_sec(), m.latitude, m.longitude, m.altitude See config/bag2mat_dic.yaml for full example.
  • Configuration: This file specified which topic names should be transferred to matlab and under which variable name. A list of -[topic name, message type, name for variable in matfile] See config/bag2mat_config.yaml for full example.

  • roslib
  • scipy
