Introduction

Elevation Mapping CuPy is a ROS 2 (Jazzy) node that builds and maintains an elevation map on the GPU using CuPy kernels.

This Jazzy branch intentionally keeps the supported feature set small and deterministic:

• PointCloud2 input only (no image or semantic fusion).

• One regression-tested bring-up path:

  • synthetic TF (map -> base_link) + synthetic depth-like pointcloud

  • elevation_mapping_node.py publishes a grid_map_msgs/msg/GridMap on /elevation_mapping_node/elevation_map

If you need multi-modal (RGB/semantic) elevation mapping, use a different branch/repository revision.
