What are hardware requirements? #60

Hello and thanks for the project! Please tell me what are requirements for processing power of a PC? Can the algorithm run in real-time? Does it use GPU? Does it require GPU? Will it run on raspberry pi? Does it store all map in RAM? Will it run out of memory if I try to map a large area (say 100x100 km from a drone) or run half a day? Also, not related to processing power, does it work well when mapping from a drone?

Hi, our package has no requirements on GPU, but a powerful CPU is required in real-time scenarios. What more, if your RAM memory is not enough (<16Gb), you can try to add swap space by following this website.
