Part of the MOLA-wide MRPT 3.x port.

Re-ported after the upstream core/apps/viz repository split: per-module mrpt_* packages, namespaced mrpt::mrpt_* targets, and the opengl to viz move.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added footprint-aware cost evaluation using robot shapes.
    • Updated visualization support for the current MRPT framework.
  • Improvements

    • Migrated path-planner and self-driving simulator command-line options to a consistent interface.
    • Optional configuration settings are applied only when provided, while required inputs remain validated.
    • Improved compatibility across supported simulator event-handling variants.
    • Path-to-trajectory mapping now reports unavailable mappings explicitly and no longer extrapolates beyond simulated paths.

Repo restructured (single package -> mrpt_path_planning_core /
mrpt_path_planning_apps / mrpt_path_planning_viz / mrpt_path_planning
metapackage) since the June mrpt3 branch was cut, so it couldn't be
merged forward -- re-ported against today's develop, using the
mrpt3 branch's diff as a worked reference per repo (files unchanged
since the branch point were copied wholesale; files that gained
new features on develop since then were hand-merged).

Mechanical: mrpt-*/mrpt_lib* -> mrpt_*/mrpt::mrpt_* everywhere;
mrpt-tclap dropped where genuinely unused (mrpt_path_planning_core
never links TCLAP despite find_package'ing it) and TCLAP->CLI11
where actually used (both CLI apps, including selfdriving-simulator-gui,
which can't be build-verified here since mvsim isn't installed in
this workspace); opengl->viz across ~15 files, including the
COpenGLScene->Scene and opengl_frwds.h->viz_frwds.h renames the
blanket sed missed on the first pass.

Hand work -- real MRPT3 API changes:
- CParameterizedTrajectoryGenerator::inverseMap_WS2TP(): bool + 2
  out-params -> std::optional<std::pair<int,double>>. Touched 3 PTG
  overrides (DiffDrive_C, DiffDriveCollisionGridBased, HolonomicBlend)
  and every call site (MotionPrimitivesTree.h, TPS_Astar.cpp,
  bestTrajectory.cpp, refine_trajectory.cpp, plus dead
  wip-experimental/TPS_RRTstar.cpp).
- CImage: filledRectangle() now takes TPixelCoord pairs not raw ints;
  operator()(x,y) removed in favor of ptr<T>()/at<T>(); colormap()
  now returns TColorf, needs .asTColor().
- CPolygon::AddVertex -> add_vertex.
- CArrow::Create(x,y,z,len,..) -> CArrow::Create(TPoint3Df, TPoint3Df,..).
- yaml sequence emplace_back needs .node() on the yaml wrapper.
- CDisplayWindow3D::getLastMousePosition()/Viewport::get3DRayForPixelCoord()
  both switched from bool+out-param to std::optional returns; the
  camera flag renamed setCameraProjective -> setProjectiveModel.

28/28 mrpt_path_planning_core tests pass (one ~64s A* search test).
No test suite in _apps or the metapackage. Gate 5.1 clean across the
whole repo (remaining mrpt:: hits are genuine namespace usage or
comment-string false positives).

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request updates MRPT dependencies, replaces TCLAP with CLI11, migrates visualization code from mrpt::opengl to mrpt::viz, and changes PTG mapping and path-step APIs to return optional values.

Changes

MRPT migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Dependency and target updates
mrpt_path_planning_apps/*/CMakeLists.txt, mrpt_path_planning_core/CMakeLists.txt, */package.xml
Build files and package manifests use current MRPT package names, namespaced targets, and CLI11.
CLI11 application migration
mrpt_path_planning_apps/path-planner-cli/*, mrpt_path_planning_apps/selfdriving-simulator-gui/*
Both applications replace TCLAP parsing with CLI11 options and flags. Optional arguments use explicit presence checks.
Visualization API migration
mrpt_path_planning_core/include/mpp/*, mrpt_path_planning_core/src/*, mrpt_path_planning_apps/mrpt_path_planning_viz/*
Visualization types and headers use mrpt::viz. Scene creation, rendering objects, mouse-ray handling, YAML construction, and polygon accessors use updated MRPT APIs.
Optional inverse-mapping contract
mrpt_path_planning_core/include/mpp/ptgs/*, mrpt_path_planning_core/src/ptgs/*, mrpt_path_planning_core/src/algos/*
inverseMap_WS2TP() and getPathStepForDist() return std::optional values. Callers unpack results when present and handle missing mappings. The collision-grid implementation no longer extrapolates unsupported mappings beyond simulated trajectories.

The supplied CI job fails at this required lookup because it cannot find mrpt_containersConfig.cmake. Install the MRPT 3 mrpt_containers development package in the CI dependency setup, or add its installation prefix to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH. Keep this find_package() only if that package is guaranteed by the supported build environment.

Provision mrpt_containers in the build environment.

The new dependency is declared here, but the CI environment does not provide mrpt_containersConfig.cmake. The current branch therefore fails during CMake configuration.

Update the CI or dependency bootstrap so that the mrpt_containers installation prefix is available before colcon build.

Comment thread mrpt_path_planning_core/src/ptgs/DiffDriveCollisionGridBased.cpp Outdated
- DiffDriveCollisionGridBased::inverseMap_WS2TP: the extrapolation
  branch used to be unconditionally unreachable due to a self-comparison
  typo (target_dist > target_dist). Porting it to the optional-returning
  API exposed a real, previously-inert success path whose result
  bestTrajectory.cpp cannot reconstruct. Restored the always-unreachable
  behavior for out-of-range targets instead of enabling the new path.
- DiffDriveCollisionGridBased/HolonomicBlend::getPathStepForDist: update
  the remaining bool+out-param overrides to the std::optional-returning
  base signature; they were silently no longer overriding anything,
  leaving both PTGs abstract.
- CHANGELOG: document the mrpt::opengl -> mrpt::viz and inverseMap_WS2TP
  breaking changes for 2.0.0.
