Dependencies

• ROS (tested on Kinetic/Melodic)

• OpenCV 2.4.x / 3.1 above

• g2o (2016 version)

Build

Build this project as a ROS package

Demo

1. Download DatasetRoom.zip, and extract it. In a terminal, cd into DatasetRoom/.

   We prepare two packages of odometry measurement data, one is more accurate (odo_raw_accu.txt), the other less accurate (odo_raw_roug.txt). To use either one of them, copy it to odo_raw.txt in DatasetRoom/.

2. Download ORBvoc.bin.

3. Run rviz:

   roscd se2lam
   rosrun rviz rviz -d rviz.rviz

4. Run se2lam:

   rosrun se2lam test_vn PATH_TO_DatasetRoom PATH_TO_ORBvoc.bin
