 Abstract:
     Volumetric maps are widely used in robotics due to their desirable properties in applications such as path planning, exploration, and manipulation. Constant advances in mapping technologies are needed to keep up with the improvements in sensor technology, generating increasingly vast amounts of precise measurements. Handling this data in a computationally and memory-efficient manner is paramount to representing the environment at the desired scales and resolutions. In this work, we express the desirable properties of a volumetric mapping framework through the lens of multi-resolution analysis. This shows that wavelets are a natural foundation for hierarchical and multi-resolution volumetric mapping. Based on this insight we design an efficient mapping system that uses wavelet decomposition. The efficiency of the system enables the use of uncertainty-aware sensor models, improving the quality of the maps. Experiments on both synthetic and real-world data provide mapping accuracy and runtime performance comparisons with state-of-the-art methods on both RGB-D and 3D LiDAR data. The framework is open-sourced to allow the robotics community at large to explore this approach.

+Quick start
+***********
+To get an impression of the maps wavemap can generate, you can download the maps of our `RSS paper's <https://www.roboticsproceedings.org/rss19/p065.pdf>`__ and directly view them in Rviz. To do so,
+
+* Choose and download one of the maps provided `here <https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1sTmDBUt97wwE220gVFwCq88JT5IOQlk5>`__
+* Open Rviz, for example by running :code:`roscore & rviz`
+* Load wavemap's rviz plugin by clicking: `Add` |rarr| `By display type` |rarr| `wavemap_rviz_plugin` |rarr| `WavemapMap`
+* In the plugin settings, under `Source` select `File`
+* Load the map you just downloaded by clicking: `Loaded map` |rarr| `Choose file`
+* [Optional] Tweak the visualization options under `Render voxels` and `Render slice`
+
+
 Newer College dataset
 *********************
-The Newer College dataset is available `here <https://ori-drs.github.io/newer-college-dataset/download/>`__. To get the
-sharpest maps, we recommend supplying wavemap with a high-rate odometry estimate and turning on its built-in pointcloud
-motion undistortion. In our experiments, we got these estimates by modifying FastLIO2 to publish its forward-integrated
-IMU poses. If you would like to run FastLIO2 yourself, our public fork
-is `available here <https://github.com/ethz-asl/fast_lio>`_. Alternatively, we provide rosbags with pre-recorded odometry
-for the Multi-Cam Cloister, Park, Math-easy and Mine-easy
-sequences `here <https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1sTmDBUt97wwE220gVFwCq88JT5IOQlk5>`__.
