  • Updated description of A2D2 ROS Preparer from

    The *A2D2 ROS Preparer* is a software tool that converts the [Audi Autonomous Driving Dataset (A2D2)](https://www.a2d2.audi/a2d2/en.html) to a [Robot Operating System](https://www.ros.org/) (ROS) bag. The [sensor setup](https://www.a2d2.audi/a2d2/en/sensor-setup.html) of the A2D2 vehicle includes five LiDARs, six cameras, bus signals and is structured in a dataset-specific form. The preparation for ROS enables the development of subsequent processes and algorithms to be more universally applicable, as ROS is a widely used robotics middleware. Moreover, ROS offers a variety of software libraries and tools that can be employed directly. The following video shows the ROS visualization tool [rViz](https://wiki.ros.org/rviz): <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/uoTmNCU2IDM?si=jjHjjn0jjpKjo29k" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe> Within the [SAVeNoW research project](https://savenow.de), the *A2D2 ROS Preparer* is used for executing a simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) algorithm on the vehicle dataset.
