How does gmapping detect loop closure?

I want to know the way to detect loop closure in gmapping package. I couldn't find loop closing method in gmapping papers.

Its through the ICP (iterative closest point) scan matching technique. Read [here].(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iterative_closest_point)

Thank you for your reply. If loop closure is found, will all historical pose be recalculated? I want to get recalculated pose data. Is there a good method to do that?

Hey! did you end up with loop closures? I can't activate it. set resampleThreshold equal to 1, all the same the new map is superimposed on the old one

@infiniti @AlexR @Kislyy_homyak I am unable to get proper loop closure in gmapping slam, I set the resample Threshold equal to 0.8, were you able to solve this?

gmappinp Parameter resampleThreshold handles this.

~resampleThreshold (float, default: 0.5) The Neff based resampling threshold

Neff drops in case of loop closures.

gmapping does resampling based on Neff threshold in case of loop closure.

Check rbpf slam tutorial . Pictures is from these slides.

Doesn't seem to work well. What value of Neff do you think is ok?

I tried using a Neff value of 0.8 and it seemed to make things better in terms of updating the map. According to the slides: "We only resample when Neff drops below a given threshold (N/2)" So setting resampleThreshold to 0.8 instead of 0.5 means resampling is done when fewer particles are needed to reach the sampling threshold.
