# elevation_map_loader package
# elevation_map_loader

This package provides elevation map for compare_map_segmentation.
## Purpose

## elevation_map_loader
This package provides elevation map for compare_map_segmentation.

### Feature
## Inner-workings / Algorithms

Generate elevation_map from subscribed pointcloud_map and vector_map and publish it.
Save the generated elevation_map locally and load it from next time.
