OctoMap is a C++ library providing an efficient probabilistic 3D mapping framework based on octrees, with occupancy representation and volumetric queries. It includes the octovis visualization tool and the dynamicEDT3D distance transform library.
Use cases
- build 3D occupancy maps from robot sensor data
- store and query probabilistic 3D environments with octrees
- visualize 3D octree maps with octovis
- compute 3D distance transforms with dynamicEDT3D
- integrate 3D mapping into ROS projects
- perform collision checking on volumetric maps
When to choose
- you need memory-efficient probabilistic 3D occupancy mapping in C++
- you are building robot navigation or SLAM systems
- you want a mature, well-documented octree mapping library with ROS support
When to avoid
- you need 2D-only mapping (simpler grid maps suffice)
- you require a license other than BSD/GPL for the visualization tools
- you need GPU-accelerated mapping
