How to run?

[Lucky8Young]

Thanks for your great work! I manage to compile everything in the README.md but I don't know how to run some applications.Because I didn't compile and run a ubuntu project on windows with visual studio. Could you please tell me how to do it or give me some advices about it in details? Thank you very much?

Hello Lucky8Young! If you want to make apps, you can also build the mono-stero-RGBD projects provided. Take mono_tum app as an example, you can follow the steps below.

1. Go to the ORBSLAM24Windows/build folder, double click the ORB_SLAM2.sln to open the peoject.
2. Choose either debug or release mode you want. (Build mode should be the same as DBoW2 && g2o && Pangolin && ORB_SLAM2).
3. Right click the mono_tum project and then click generate.
4. Download tum dataset sequence, for example freiburg2_desk
5. Right click the mono_tum project and then click Property->Config Property->Debug, input three parameters (Usage: ./mono_tum path_to_vocabulary path_to_settings path_to_sequence, the first can be ignored in windows)
   • path_to_vocabulary In ORBSLAM24Windows/Vocabulary folder, unpack the tar, a .txt file
   • path_to_settings In ORBSLAM24Windows/Examples/Monocular folder, rgbd_dataset_freiburg2_desk corresponding to TUM2.yaml
   • path_to_sequence rgbd_dataset_freiburg2_desk folder path
6. Run app, it'll take a few minutes to load the vocabulary dictionary, and then you'll get the result.

If you don't satisfied with the speed of loading dictionary, you can reference issue vocabulary convert to convert the txt vocabulary to bin vocabulary, it speeds up a lot.

Thanks for your help! I'm very sorry for the late reply. I followed your advice and it worked but the effect wasn't very good. Maybe there were some mistakes I mad that need to be re corrected.
