Rviz显示不出数据了！一文搞懂Qos

2022-04-24 23:08:35 浏览数 (1)

ROS2的通信中间件换成了DDS。这让我们可以精准地控制节点间的通信质量。通信效率也迎来了一次大的提升。

但是...

但是...

一个不小心，看到了类似这样的报错信息：

代码语言：shell复制
[WARN] [1644578813.965216245] [subscriber_qos_obj]: New publisher discovered on topic '/qos_test', offering incompatible QoS. No messages will be received from it. Last incompatible policy: RELIABILITY

本来好好的Rviz也显示不了雷达数据了。

这就是incompatible QoS搞的鬼！

两个节点的Qos设置不兼容将没法通信

那什么是Qos（Quality of Service）

在ROS1中，节点间的通信是基于TCP的。因为TCP的失败重传机制，在一些网络不稳定的场景，通信会出现延时严重的问题。这大大限制了ROS1的使用场景。

在ROS2中，采用DDS作为通信中间件。ROS2的DDS中间件是可以配置成不同厂家提供的。这些不同的DDS各自有不同的侧重点，可根据项目的不同需求来选择。ROS2 Galactic和Rolling默认采用rmw_cyclonedds_cpp。rmw_cyclonedds_cpp在进程间和多主机间通信的场景下，主要是使用UDP做为通信媒介。

通过正确的服务质量策略配置，ROS2可以像TCP一样可靠，也可以像UDP那样尽力而为。在不稳定的网络环境下，“尽力而为”策略将更合适。在实时性要求高的场景下，设定数据的有效性将是必须的。

针对节点特定的工作负载和使用场景，有倾向地配置Qos将可以使通信质量达到最佳。

我们可以为发布器、订阅器、提供服务的服务器和客户端配置QoS。

因为每个节点的Qos是可以单独配置的，所以如果配置的Qos互相不兼容，节点间的通信将无法建立。

Qos（Quality of Service）有哪些配置项

配置项目

  • History
  • Keep last: 只缓存最新的N个数据，N可通过Depth的Queue size配置。
  • Keep all: 缓存所有的数据，但是受限于DDS底层的资源限制。
  • Depth
  • Queue size: 当History设置为Keep last时有效。
代码语言：c 复制
QoS &
QoS::keep_last(size_t depth)
{
  rmw_qos_profile_.history = RMW_QOS_POLICY_HISTORY_KEEP_LAST;
  rmw_qos_profile_.depth = depth;
  return *this;
}
  • Reliability
  • Best effort: 尽力传送数据，但是网络不稳定可能会丢弃一些数据。
  • Reliable: 确保数据被传送到，可能会重传多次，导致数据延时严重。
  • Durability
  • Transient local: 为后订阅话题的订阅者保留数据，比如map_server发布map的Qos策略。
  • Volatile: 不为后订阅话题的订阅者保留数据，比如订阅传感器数据的节点。
代码语言：c 复制
  // Create a publisher using the QoS settings to emulate a ROS1 latched topic
  occ_pub_ = create_publisher<nav_msgs::msg::OccupancyGrid>(
    topic_name,
    rclcpp::QoS(rclcpp::KeepLast(1)).transient_local().reliable());
  • Deadline
  • Duration: 设置数据被发布的间隔时间。比如：像cmd_vel等控制命令就希望是固定间隔时间下发的。
  • Lifespan
  • Duration: 设置数据从发布到被接收的最大间隔时间。超过该时间将被认为是过时的数据，直接丢弃了。这对于传感器数据来说是很重要的。因为过时的传感器数据毫无用处。
  • Liveliness
  • Automatic: 一个节点可能有多个发布器。只要有一个发布器发布了数据，系统将认为该节点的所有发布器在接下来的lease duration时间段内是活跃的。
  • Manual by topic: 如果手动确认发布器仍然是活跃的，系统将认为该发布器在接下来的lease duration时间段内是活跃的。
  • Lease Duration
  • Duration: 在这个时间段内，发布器需发布数据，不然会被系统认为是停止工作了。该参数与Liveliness配合使用。

不兼容的Qos策略

知道了所有的Qos的配置项目后，哪些跟哪些配置是不兼容的呢？

这里有一张对比表帮助我们避免不兼容的Qos策略设置。

表中的x表示人为设定了某个值，Default值根据不同的DDS有不同的设定。通常是下面两种：

代码语言：c 复制
/// Constant representing an infinite duration. Use rmw_time_equal for comparisons.
/**
  * Different RMW implementations have different representations for infinite durations.
  * This value is reported for QoS policy durations that are left unspecified.
  * Do not directly compare `sec == sec && nsec == nsec`, because we don't want to be sensitive
  * to non-normalized values (nsec > 1 second) - use rmw_time_equal instead.
  * This value is INT64_MAX nanoseconds = 0x7FFF FFFF FFFF FFFF = d 9 223 372 036 854 775 807
  *
  * Note: these constants cannot be `static const rmw_time_t` because in C that can't be used
  * as a compile-time initializer
  */
#define RMW_DURATION_INFINITE {9223372036LL, 854775807LL}
#define RMW_DURATION_UNSPECIFIED {0LL, 0LL}

查询话题的Qos策略

用下面的命令查询

代码语言：shell复制
ros2 topic info /scan --verbose

输出示例：

代码语言：shell复制
Type: sensor_msgs/msg/LaserScan

Publisher count: 1

Node name: laserscan
Node namespace: /
Topic type: sensor_msgs/msg/LaserScan
Endpoint type: PUBLISHER
GID: 71.03.10.01.8b.5b.f9.27.8e.9d.a4.4e.00.00.6c.03.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00
QoS profile:
  Reliability: BEST_EFFORT
  Durability: VOLATILE
  Lifespan: 9223372036854775807 nanoseconds
  Deadline: 9223372036854775807 nanoseconds
  Liveliness: AUTOMATIC
  Liveliness lease duration: 9223372036854775807 nanoseconds

Subscription count: 0

分析一下:

  • Reliability = BEST_EFFORT. 这是在传感器节点中的标准设置方式。因为我们感兴趣的是获得大量的数据，如果丢失一两个信息，其实并不重要。
  • Durability = Volatile. 这也是传感器节点的标准方式，特别是具有高数据量的传感器。我们并不需要为晚加入的节点保存旧的信息。因为旧信息对它根本没有意义了。
  • Liveliness = Automatic. 这是默认的设置，特别是对于传感器。我们认为在lease duration时间段内，节点发布了任何话题，代表节点是活跃的。
  • Deadline = "9223372036.854775807" seconds ( INFINITE VALUE ). 这意味着 没有Deadline限制.
  • Lifespan = "9223372036.854775807" seconds( INFINITE VALUE ). 这意味着 没有数据有效性限制. 不管数据延时多久被接受到都认为其是有效。这是从gazebo中发出的数据。仿真环境下这么设置应该没啥关系。但在实际场景下则需要根据需求设置一下。

系统层预设的Qos

这里以rclcpp为例。

Qos配置的相关接口维护在rclcpp模块中的qos.cpp和qos.hpp文件中。/opt/ros/galactic/include/rmw/qos_profiles.h中维护了预设的Qos结构数据。

这里放置两个瞧瞧。
